"Master, Master Wang has been invited to visit." The next person came in and reported.

Huang Ke put down the brush, tidied up his clothes, got up and said, "Please!" ”

The subordinate looked embarrassed: "Master, this bachelor Wang ......"

"Why do you want to spit it out." Huang Ke asked.

The servant replied, "Master Wang is wearing a pair of iron armor, with a sword hanging from his waist and a bow on his back, and he looks like he has come to look for trouble." ”

Huang Ke is the kind of Geng Jie's character, you respect me, I respect you; If you don't have a good face, Lao Tzu won't bother to pay attention to you. He was very angry by Wang Yuan, but in order to calm things down, he could only say: "Please bring him in!" ”

Huang Ke became a household servant in September, and it was already the end of October when he returned to Beijing to take up his post, and his main responsibility was to supervise the granaries and pastures, and to manage the collection and storage of grain. Including the school field where Wang Yuan trained his troops, the grassland next door was also supervised by Huang Ke.

This time it is indeed an illegal operation in Taicang, it doesn't matter if it is not investigated, if Wang Yuan has to be more serious, officials at all levels in Taicang will be punished.

Who can be clean in charge of food and money? Check one accurately!

It stands to reason that Huang Ke took office as a new official and was responsible for supervising Taicang. If he seriously investigates and deals with this matter, first, he will be able to establish his authority, second, he will be able to make meritorious contributions, and third, he will take the opportunity to cultivate cronies, and he will be able to cooperate with Wang Yuan.

But now is not the time, there are continuous disasters and famines in various places, the front-line food is tight, and the head of the household department is almost exhausted.

Huang Ke's investigation and punishment of Taicang officials at this time is tantamount to stabbing Sun Jiao's knife, and the treasury system has been chaotic for at least a month. Seeing that the New Year is approaching, not only must the front-line soldiers be paid, but the military department will also reward the front-line soldiers.

There must be chaos, Wang Yuan must be appeased!

Huang E had already been waiting in secret, and when he heard the wind, he immediately ran out, hiding behind the door and secretly looking.

But he saw Wang Yuan coming in full armor, and the iron armor reflected the dark light in the sun. Huang E was stunned for a moment, then covered his mouth and laughed again, thinking: This is an invitation to a banquet, it is obvious that Xingshi is asking for guilt, and Daddy is going to be angry.

Wang Yuan seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned his head to look to the side.

Huang E was so frightened that he hurriedly shrank his head, hid behind the door and patted his chest, and said to himself: "I was almost discovered by him." ”

"Second sister, what are you doing here?" Suddenly behind him, his younger brother Huang ?? The little one was looking up at her.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Huang E quickly ran back to his boudoir.

Yellow?? Looking out curiously, and then looking at my sister's room, the little brain seemed to understand something. He ran to his mother and said, "Mother, the second sister was peeking at Wang Xianggong just now. ”

Mrs. Nie was puzzled: "Which prince is the prince?" ”

Yellow?? said: "It is Wang Erlang, the champion of high school and leading troops to quell the rebellion." ”

Mrs. Nie suddenly admonished: "?? Son, don't tell outsiders about this, remember? ”

"I know." Yellow?? Nodding.

Mrs. Nie sent her son away, paced back and forth in the house by herself, and soon recruited a maid to accompany the dowry: "Do you know Wang Erlang?" ”

This maid has become an aunt, and she is a couple of people with the housekeeper of the Huang Mansion, and is now the maid of the Huang family. Hearing Mrs. Nie's inquiry, she immediately smiled and said, "Who in the capital doesn't know Wang Erlang?" Of course I do. ”

Mrs. Nie asked again, "Does he have a marriage match?" ”

The maid thought for a while and said, "It seems that I have never been married, and someone went to say goodbye a while ago, but there has been no follow-up." I've heard about it, too, and I can't do it, so I'll have to find someone to inquire carefully. ”

"Then you can send someone to inquire." Mrs. Nie said.

The maid master immediately understood and quietly took the order to leave.

Huang Ke didn't know what his wife wanted to do, and as soon as he saw Wang Yuan's sword and armor, he couldn't help but sneer: "Master Wang, is this going out to fight?" ”

Wang Yuan replied angrily: "To fight, you have to have money and food, so I can be shallow, but I can't move a group of hungry soldiers." ”

Huang Ke took the overall situation as the priority, swallowed this evil breath alive, and said: "As the right attendant of the household department, I am ordered to supervise the warehouse, and I am also responsible for the affairs of Taicang. The food and salary of 6,000 soldiers should indeed be paid on time, but it is really difficult for the warehouse. ”

Wang Yuan sneered: "It's difficult for everyone, and my soldiers have no rice to cook." ”

Huang Ke said: "I also know that Master Wang is in trouble, so I ordered the Taicang envoy to raise money immediately, and it should be able to be sent to the military camp tomorrow." ”

"The market price of silver?" Wang Yuan asked.

Huang Ke said angrily: "Official price! ”

Wang Yuan suddenly took off his iron armor in front of Huang Ke, revealing the casual clothes inside, threw the bow and knife aside, and said with a smile: "Huang Shilang, I was in the camp to train soldiers before, and I came in a hurry, and I didn't have time to take off my armor. You don't blame you for that, do you? ”

Huang Ke was so made by this that he couldn't cry or laugh, and said with a prickly speech: "Who dares to blame Bachelor Wang, I'm afraid that I won't be arrested and sent to the barracks to be detained!" ”

Wang Yuan laughed: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, I just asked that envoy to drink two cups, and I will send someone to send him home this afternoon." ”

Huang Ke's position is the God of Wealth, unless he has to, why do you offend this kind of person?

The so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Huang Ke is really not good at turning his face on the spot, and now he can't get angry, and says with a cold face: "It's good to solve the misunderstanding." ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "Listening to Huang Shilang's accent, it seems to be from Sichuan?" ”

Huang Ke said: "Suining people." ”

"Oh," Wang Yuan said in surprise, "That's really a coincidence, the junior Dao test master is also from Suining!" Chuangui's family, speaking of which, Huang Shilang and I are also fellow villagers. ”

Hell, the Sichuan and Gui families, there was no such thing in the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Ke didn't want to have a conflict with the emperor's favored ministers, so he answered: "I don't know which talented person Bachelor Wang's Dao test master is?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "Xi Gongshu, who has just been promoted to the right of Guizhou's political participation. ”

Huang Ke finally smiled: "It turned out to be Xi Wentong, and my father and I were classmates when we were young. ”

In that small place in Suining, there are three scholarly families of Huang, Xi and Lu, who have no contradictions with each other, but often intermarry and become in-laws.

Huang Ke and Xi Shu are strictly speaking, and Wang Yuan, as a student of Xi Shu, can barely climb the relationship, but he is two generations shorter than Huang Ke.

Wang Yuan deliberately resolved the contradiction, and Huang Ke also cared about Wang Yuan's status as a favored minister, so he actually followed this relationship and soon got along well.

"Set the wine!" Huang Ke shouted.

This gentleman was a poor drinker, but the guests of the house would set up a drinking party, and every time he would get himself drunk.

In the boudoir.

The maid trotted in, and Huang E hurriedly asked, "They didn't quarrel, did they?" ”

"I'm drinking and laughing." The maid laughed.

Huang E was quite surprised and asked, "Didn't Wang Erlang come to the door wearing armor?" ”

The maid replied, "I have taken it off, and my weapon has been thrown aside." ”

Huang E asked again, "What did they say?" ”

The maid shook her head and said, "I didn't dare to get too close, I couldn't hear clearly." Why don't you go and inquire again? ”

"No, it's good that they didn't quarrel." Huang E smiled and suddenly laughed out loud as he spoke.

The maid also laughed and joked: "Miss, Wang Erlang is much whiter than when he triumphed." ”

Huang E said: "He must have been tanned in the war, and there is not so much sun in winter, so it is naturally much whiter." ”

The maid said: "Actually, black is not good at all, and wearing iron armor is particularly majestic." ”

"He's also imposing without iron armor." Huang E said.

"Hee-hee, Miss is not ashamed, commenting on the man's house in the boudoir." The maid teased.

Huang E's cheeks suddenly flew and he pounced: "Don't talk nonsense, see if I don't tear your mouth!" ”

"Oops, annoyed and angry, I was told the main thing." The maid laughed and ran away.

The master and servant quarreled for a while, and in a short time they came to the garden. Huang E raised her foot and stepped on the swing, the maid pushed her high, and the garden was full of girl's laughter.

Wang Yuan was only slightly drunk, and Huang Ke was already lying on the table, unable to wake up no matter how much he shouted.

In desperation, Wang Yuan could only say goodbye and let the servants help Huang Ke to rest.

It wasn't until the evening that Huang Ke finally woke up, and Huang E said, "Daddy, you seem to have a good chat with Wang Erlang today." ”

"This kid drinks a lot!" Huang Ke said.

Huang E thought to himself: Compared with you, everyone's alcohol consumption is very good.

Huang E knocked on the side: "What does Daddy think of Wang Erlang?" ”

Huang Ke thought for a while and said, "It's extremely cunning, and the city is deep. In addition, he is still young and appreciated by His Majesty, and he will definitely be a great minister in the future! ”

"Really?" Huang E became more and more happy.

Huang Ke glanced at his daughter and admonished: "This person is unpredictable, treacherous and abnormal, I am afraid that he is not a good match." ”
