Chapter 263: Song Yin was met in the Prime Minister's Mansion
I have to say that Imperial Doctor Wang is a very responsible doctor, every five days, without notice, he will come to Yiranju to diagnose Xiao Yiran's pulse and change the prescription. In order not to make Imperial Doctor Wang suspicious, Xiao Yiran had to reduce his symptoms every time, and after more than a month, Xiao Yiran was forced to recover.
Hu Xin, the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who had been paying attention to Xiao Yiran's movements in Yiran Curry, knew about the disappearance as soon as possible, and immediately sent a carriage to take Xiao Yiran to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Xiao Yiran came to the Prime Minister's Mansion and did not see Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, she was received by the housekeeper Hu Xin, and a man who was similar in age to the old gentleman Chu Tian. This man is five short in stature, with two slightly whitish beards, and small but bright eyes.
"Miss Yiran, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Song Yin, who is known as 'Southern Chu and Northern Song Dynasty'."
Of course, after being in contact with Chu Tian for a long time, Xiao Yiran naturally knew that there was such a number one person, so he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"The little woman Xiao Yiran has seen Mr. Song."
"Hehe, I've heard a lot of about Miss's name recently, and when I see it today, let's not talk about the garden's knowledge, just this dusty demeanor is not comparable to ordinary people."
"The old gentleman praised it falsely, the old gentleman's name is also like thunder."
Xiao Yiran has long been familiar with this kind of clichΓ© in the painting boat, but he doesn't say it under normal circumstances.
"There is no need for the two of you to be polite, and the next few days will be long."
As he spoke, Hu Xin took out a blueprint, spread it on the bookcase, and said to the two:
"Today, the prime minister has not yet returned, please come to the two of them, I have already told the two of you, this is the blueprint of the existing building of the prime minister's mansion, and the location map of the part to be expanded, please take a look."
Xiao Yiran looked at Song Yin's horse, and after Song Yin walked over, he also followed behind, walked to the bookcase, and looked down. I really don't know if I don't know it, Xiao Yiran didn't expect the Prime Minister's Mansion to cover such a wide area. Not to mention the vacant land to be built, just the area of the existing mansion is almost twice the size of Song Jiatuan, and if it is compared with Yiranju, it is more than seven or eight times.
Song Yin, who was only listening to the blueprint intently, asked Hu Xin while watching:
"I don't know what Xiangye is going to do?"
"Don't hide it from the two, the master means that the planning of the current mansion is unreasonable, and I always feel that the building in the mansion is a little dull and lacks agility. Therefore, the first thing is to change the existing pattern, and at the same time, add the ground to be built, so that the whole prime minister's house is both harmonious and vibrant. β
After looking at it carefully for a long time, Song Yin said again and again:
"It's hard, it's hard, it's hard."
"What do you mean, sir?"
"If you want to say that according to the requirements of the Prime Minister, the existing buildings of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion will probably have to be demolished and rebuilt."
Hu Xin obviously knew Hu Weiyong's intentions, and he definitely didn't want to demolish and rebuild, if he really wanted to do that, wouldn't it be too ostentatious? didn't answer Song Yin's words, and turned his head to look at Xiao Yiran, who was watching the blueprint. Xiao Yiran felt the gaze behind him, raised his head, and said hesitantly:
"What Mr. Song said is true."
"Miss means it's going to be demolished and rebuilt?"
Xiao Yiran looked at Song Yin and nodded slightly.
"Since both of them mean this, then it will be clear below, and the lord does not want to be too ostentatious, so the existing houses in the house can only be partially renovated. On the basis of achieving the goal, the fewer changes the better. β
Xiao Yiran has long seen that the current Prime Minister's Mansion is a relatively old mansion, and it is not built by one person at a time, but after many years of construction, it will naturally appear uncoordinated, and even some duplicate construction, and the disadvantages of blocking and shielding each other. However, since Song Yin said that it was difficult, Xiao Yiran would naturally follow his tone.
"Steward Hu, the houses in the Prime Minister's Mansion are not built by one person at a time, so they will look dull and uncoordinated, if you really want to meet the requirements of the Prime Minister, it is indeed a problem."
From Song Yin's attitude, Xiao Yiran can see that he does not take himself in his eyes, Xiao Yiran is not only not disgusted, but is in the middle of it, so he will say according to Song Yin's words, and the province will be troubled by the time. So he chimed in:
"That's what the old gentleman said."
Hu Xin looked at Song Yin, and then looked at Xiao Yiran. As the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion, what kind of people have never seen it, and what kind of world he has never seen, so he quickly discovered something from Xiao Yiran's echo. can make several princes take a fancy to them, especially those who are favored by Zhu Di, it is impossible for them to be such an unassertive person. It should be because of Song Yin's presence, it is not good to speak directly.
"In this way, the two of you have already seen the blueprint, go back and think about it carefully, and when the master comes back, after telling the master the meaning of the two, please let the master decide."
Xiao Yiran heard Hu Xin say this, and saw that it was almost lunch time, so he stood up and said goodbye:
"Old gentleman, Steward Hu, so Yiran will go back to Yiran Ju first, and when Xiangye comes back and has an idea, Yiran will come back to visit."
"Miss and slow, the lunch kitchen has been prepared, the master ordered when he left, the two of them must eat in the house, if the master has no urgent business, he will definitely go back to the house to accompany him."
"Steward Hu, Yiran is a grass people, how can you eat in the Prime Minister's Mansion, let alone ask the Prime Minister to accompany you. Leave. β
After speaking, without waiting for Hu Xin to answer, he turned around and left.
"Haha, why should Miss Yiran be difficult to be a housekeeper, it is true that the old man has ordered so."
As soon as Xiao Yiran walked out of the door, he met Hu Weiyong, the prime minister who had returned from the next dynasty. Above average height, although he is almost sixty years old, his beard is still jet black, except for some pot-bellied poop, he is also considered dignified.
"The folk girl knocks on the master."
No way, facing the head of the hundred officials, Xiao Yiran could only kneel and kowtow. After Xiao Yiran kowtowed three times, Hu Weiyong said:
"Why does Miss Yiran have to make this big gift, please hurry up and talk in the living room."
Xiao Yiran couldn't say anything back to Yiranju, so he had to follow Hu Weiyong and return to the living room just now. After Hu Weiyong sat down, Hu Xin said the opinions of the two just now. Hu Weiyong looked at the two of them and didn't say anything, but instructed Hu Xindao:
"Let's set the table, and we'll talk about it after the meal."
Although the luncheon in the Prime Minister's Mansion was very sumptuous, Xiao Yiran ate tastelessly, and even became a little disgusted, because Hu Weiyong's two eyes were aimed at him from time to time, which made Xiao Yiran very unhappy. For a long time, no one has ever done this, even when he was in the painting boat, once he met such a guest, Xiao Yiran would always excuse himself and walk away.
Song Yin obviously also saw Hu Weiyong's movements, so when eating, Song Yin almost didn't raise his head, and the maid next to him poured wine and drank, and Hu Weiyong let the dishes eat, looking like an outsider.
"Miss, why don't you tell me an interesting story about the trip to Beiping?"
"Back to Xiangye, there is nothing interesting to talk about when I go to Beiping."
"Isn't it, when you passed through Baoding Mansion, you were intercepted by bandits on the road, isn't it worth talking about?"
"Oh, and that matter?"
Song Yin lost no time in interjecting a sentence, and his intention was very obvious, that is, to give Hu Weiyong a word.
"Hehe, at that time, Beiping commanded Lin Yirong's writing to be sent to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War wanted to mobilize the guards of the guard, so naturally he had to notify the old man."
"Back to Xiangye, it was really bandits who intercepted the goods of Rongchang Commercial Bank that time, and we just happened to meet him."
"The old man heard that the young lady's master and servant were robbed by bandits. How did you escape? β
"When the bandits saw that the robbery was unsuccessful, they prepared to kidnap Yiran and the two girls to blackmail them. On the way back to the mountain by the bandits, I don't know who secretly killed the bandits who kidnapped the little woman's master and servant, so they were able to escape to a jungle and hide, until the butler Cui of the Yanwang Mansion brought people to rescue them. β
"Haha, Miss is a little insincere. Since the young lady didn't want to say, the old man didn't ask anymore. But ......"
Hu Weiyong stared at Xiao Yiran's eyes and said:
Later, the commander of Beiping said that they were under the instruction of King Yan, so they cut it first and then played. If it was only for the mere goods of Rongchang Commercial Bank, King Yan would definitely not be angry, not to mention the risk of being reprimanded by the saint. β
"Xu is the prince is so angry because Mr. Chu was injured in the thigh when the bandits intercepted him. Until Yiran returned from Beiping, Mr. Chu was still a little inconvenient to move. β
"Miss Yiran doesn't seem to have come back from Beiping, right?"
"I can't imagine that Xiangye even knows some little things clearly."
Seeing that Hu Weiyong was so inquisitive, Xiao Yiran's conversation was no longer submissive.
"Haha, it's just a coincidence, it's just a coincidence."
Xiao Yiran doesn't believe the coincidence in Hu Weiyong's mouth, it is certain that there must be Hu Weiyong's people in the Rongchang Commercial Bank of Zhu Di, the Yan King of Beiping Mansion, otherwise he would not know so clearly about the things there.
Because when I was a child, I had a dream of worshipping Buddha in Wutai Mountain, so Yiran took this opportunity to take a trip. After worshipping the Buddha, he did not return to Beiping, but went all the way south, passed through Jizhou, and returned to Yingtianfu. β
"Can the old man know who Miss Yiran is taught by?"
"Xiangye refers to ......"
"Nature is the science of gardening."
"Where did Yi Ran learn, but he just mentioned some suggestions to Mr. Chu by the way, and I didn't want to be adopted by Mr. Chu by chance."
"What a coincidence, if Yiranju is a coincidence, or even that Suzhou Wuwangfu is also a coincidence, then how should Miss Yiran explain the blueprint of Yanwangfu in Beiping?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yiran knew that the blueprint of the Yanwang Mansion in Beiping drawn by Mr. Chu must have been obtained by Hu Weiyong. I was speechless for a while, and I didn't know how to answer. Just as Xiao Yiran was in danger, suddenly the housekeeper Hu Xin hurriedly walked in from outside, lowered his head and muttered a few words in Hu Weiyong's ear. When Hu Weiyong heard this, his face immediately turned like water, he stood up with a snort, and walked out without saying anything to Song Yin and Xiao Yiran.
Although Hu Xin's voice was very low, since Xiao Yiran condensed his clone, his eyesight and hearing have become extremely sharp, and he still listened to Hu Xin's words word for word.
"Master, the little boy fell into the carriage and died."
