Everyone understands this careful thinking between men, and it seems a bit contrived to pretend to be pretending to be a little pretentious, and they all say that the prime minister's concierge is a third-grade official, and this prince's housekeeper must not be regarded as a second-grade official?

But this "from the second grade" has an identity there, and the monthly money is not so much, and Prince Mingqing has never seen any dignitaries, and naturally there is no other gray income, Gongsun Jian's big deal of 1,000 taels really hit the housekeeper's heart.

Gongsun Jian also understood why General Yu would give him so many silver tickets, and it would not work without silver to deal with the relationship between the front and back.

The two of them passed the "green water and long stream" and walked through a narrow corridor, and the appearance of the entire prince's mansion appeared in front of Gongsun Jian's eyes.

Out of the corridor, what catches your eye is a wide bluestone slab flat land, and then there is a step of more than ten floors, on the steps is a very large living room, but in Gongsun Jian's view, it is said that it is a living room, but it is better to say that it is a palace, the gilt wall is golden and brilliant, and the octagonal of the palace has a dragon head title bead beautifully, and the style is not good.

The butler looked at Gongsun Jian's exclamation expression, and his expression became a little proud, "This is the council hall of the palace, except for the palace, there is no mansion in the whole world that can be compared with the council hall of the palace." ”

Gongsun Jian was speechless, "Dragon's head rhubarb, this is a typical royal style, it stands to reason that courtiers shouldn't be able to use dragons and yellows, right?" ”

The housekeeper was slightly arrogant, "The relationship between our prince and His Majesty is very good, Your Majesty specially instructed the prince to use the dragon and the royal color, but not bright yellow, after this chamber is thirty-two separate courtyards, I will take Gongsun Gongzi to see the residence first." ”

Gongsun Jian nodded, still dumbfounded in his heart, this emperor's relatives are different, ordinary people would never imagine that a prince could have such a magnificent mansion.

As the butler passed through the corridor next to the council chamber, he came to a bright courtyard.

"Childe, you have been living here for the past few days, there are eight maids in the courtyard, three housekeepers and a steward, the maid takes care of the daily cleaning and meals, and the housekeeper is responsible for protecting your safety and acting as an errand for twelve hours, if you have anything else such as going out of the house or inviting some young people to come to the house, you can inform the steward."

The housekeeper said that, and cast a look at Gongsun Jian that a man understands, saying that it was a simple child, but it was just a good way to hear and hear.

Gongsun Jian laughed, "The Prince's Mansion dares to let people in so blatantly? Aren't you afraid of assassins sneaking in? ”

The butler tightened his cuffs and said proudly: "Don't hide it from the prince, even I don't know how many guards there are in this palace, as long as it is not for the masters of the Three Realms to sneak into the palace to assassinate, the other assassins may not even be able to get close to the council hall and be killed directly, there are only two people in the mansion I know, one is a master of bows and arrows, and the other is a master of the inner family with excellent boxing skills, one of them is responsible for the palace, and the other is in charge of the palace, and even a fly can't fly in under this kind of inspection." The prince once said that as long as someone behaves abnormally in the palace, he will be captured at least or killed directly, and all the consequences will be borne by him. ”

Gongsun Jian nodded, a person in a position like Prince Mingqing will definitely provoke many enemies, not to mention anything else, at least the security must be put in place, so that there is no last resort.

It seems that he still underestimated this prince's mansion.

Just when the two were chatting, a family member ran outside the door, whispered a few words in the housekeeper's ear, the housekeeper's face turned pale, waved away the family ding, and said to Gongsun Jian: "Gongsun Gongzi, the prince has returned home." ”

"Then let's go see the prince now?"

The housekeeper then pointed to Gongsun Jian's face, and smiled, "Don't be in a hurry, Gongsun Gongzi might as well tidy up some grooming first?" ”

Gongsun Jian snorted, took the hot towel handed by the maid, and after wiping it, another maid poked the foam with both hands and pressed it back and forth on his face, which was very comfortable.

"What's this bubble? I don't feel so greasy on my face anymore. ”

The housekeeper secretly wondered, as long as such a small thing is a powerful person, it will be there, the father of the grandson in front of him is an old friend of the prince, I am afraid that it is either rich or expensive, is it possible that this thing has not been seen yet?

"This is a soap horn, which can clean the face, Gongsun Gongzi has not used it?"

Gongsun Jian shook his head, "I've enjoyed all kinds of blessings at home, and I really haven't seen this thing." ”

The housekeeper laughed, "It seems that Gongsun Gongzi's family business is also a merchant family, this thing will be sent by the palace every year to the official's home, but only high-ranking officials will have it, and there is a lot of accumulation in the palace, when Gongsun Gongzi leaves the house, I will give you a box." ”

Good things who don't want, Gongsun Jian did not refuse.

Wiping off the foam on his face, Gongsun Jian looked a lot more energetic, and the hair on his forehead was also tidied up by the ingenious maid and tied with a hairpin.

At this time, Gongsun Jian was more like a son-in-law brother of Gongsun Runru.

When he came, he did not enter the council chamber, but when he left, he followed the butler back the way he came, and walked through a small door to the inside of the council chamber.

This chamber looks very atmospheric on the outside, and it is also extremely golden and brilliant inside, according to Gongsun Jian's humble opinion, even if the emperor is allowed to go to court here, he will not lose face.

When he was about to arrive at the main hall, the butler bent down slightly, "Trouble, Gongsun, and Gongzi are waiting here, I'll go in and report it." ”

Gongsun Jian nodded, and after a while, the housekeeper hurriedly walked over again, "Gongsun Gongzi, the prince is invited." ”

Gongsun Jian can be regarded as seeing the prince's family.

At this time, there were three people sitting in front of him, an old man, two young men, and a woman, all of whom were somewhat similar in appearance, and the person sitting in the high hall had a kind of majesty that was not angry and arrogant, and should be the protagonist of this house, the most confusing thing for Gongsun Jian, Prince Mingqing's age looks similar to that of the son-in-law in the first place on the left, as if the years have never left any traces on his face.

The one sitting on the left of Prince Mingqing is the prince of Ming, and the green woman on the right must be the little princess.

Gongsun Jian shouted: "Gongsun Jian has visited King Ming, met His Royal Highness the Prince, and met the little county lord. ”

Prince Mingqing nodded slightly, "Yes, he is a young man of spirit, your father has been doing well recently, and his health is okay?" ”

Gongsun Jian had a burst of amusement in his heart, although he was a little curious about why he had arranged such an identity for himself, it was not the time to ask questions, he replied softly: "King Huiming, my father is still the same, it is difficult to take care of minor illnesses, and it is impossible to recover, so I can only slowly recuperate, and thank God if I don't let it deteriorate." ”

King Ming sighed, his acting skills were very good, "It's really hard for my old friend." ”

At this time, the prince of King Ming on the side frowned, "Gongsun Jian...... I seem to have heard this name somewhere. ”

Gongsun Jian calmly glanced at Prince Mingqing, and then spoke: "Your Royal Highness, have you and I met?" ”

King Ming turned sideways and wondered, "Qianying, have you seen Gongsun?" ”

His Royal Highness shook his head, "Dad, I haven't seen it, but it feels familiar, as if I've heard this name in someone's mouth, and I won't be able to think of it for a while." ”

Gongsun Jian looked at the father and son, and he was also very suspicious in his heart, if he wanted to say that acting can't be like this, if two people who know the inside story are still showing off their acting skills in front of the protagonist, it will be a little ridiculous and generous, could it be that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is also being hidden?

"His Royal Highness, it may be that you are mistaken, you and I have really not seen it, or you have heard someone with the same surname, after all, the word Gongsun is rare, and the surname Gongsun you know coincides with me, so I feel familiar."

His Royal Highness the Prince of the World stood up and returned the salute, "Brother Gongsun, I'm sorry, maybe this son made a mistake, don't be surprised." ”

Prince Mingqing smiled, "In this case, it's not too late for you two young people to get to know each other now, this king hasn't introduced yet, this is the dog Li Qianying, and this is the little girl Li Lian." ”

Gongsun Jian nodded, and his eyes swept over the little county lord without stopping at all.

"Look."

Gongsun Jian sat next to Li Qianying, Prince Mingqing nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth were slightly smiling, and there was a meaning in his heart, this kid didn't seem to know about his marriage with Li'er, and he just nodded and said hello to Li'er, and there was no place for rudeness in his eyes, which shows that he has a pure heart.

Li Qianying smiled, "Where is Gongsun Gongzi high now?" ”

Gongsun Jian said: "The younger brother is not talented, but he still helps the family take care of business in Beijiang Province. ”

"Oh?"

Li Qianying glanced at Prince Mingqing and Gongsun Jian suspiciously, "Didn't Dad say that Gongsun's family property is in Guangling Road?" How did you run to the Northern Frontier Road again? ”

"Qianying! Don't be rude! ”

Prince Mingqing frowned, his son is good everywhere, but he can't get rid of the problem of knowing the root cause, this small problem may be considered an advantage in other places, but after he enters the throne or hereditary throne in the future, he will not pretend to be confused if he learns again, but he will suffer a big loss.

Gongsun Jian shook his head lightly, "Don't be angry, the Gongsun family did start in Guangling before, but last year, the heavy snow disaster in Beijiang Road was serious, and my father couldn't stand it, so he sent someone to relieve the disaster in Beijiang Road, and found that the development there was good, so he let the younger brother stay in Beijiang Road, and my father did not explain this matter." ”

Prince Mingqing nodded with satisfaction again, and it was really leaky.

Li Qianying also said apologetically: "It's the son of this world who is abrupt, if I am free tomorrow, I will set up a feast in Baifeng Pavilion to catch the wind for Brother Gongsun." ”

"Brother!"

Li Lian, who had never spoken, shouted angrily, "Why did you say the land of Qinglou so high-soundingly, you weren't such a person before." ”

Li Qianying was dumbfounded, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Gongsun Jian was confused, and sneered: "If it's a Qinglou, forget it, Gongsun Mou...... Which is not good. ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Li Qianying was even more helpless, but Prince Mingqing laughed directly.

Li Lian suddenly covered her mouth on the side, and said with a look of shame: "Brother, you don't make it clear, it makes me think too much." ”

"This ...... What is the situation? ”

Gongsun Jian looked left and right, very dazed.

Li Qianying explained: "Baifeng Pavilion is the largest green building in the world, but it is not only the green building, it also operates a restaurant, although this Baifeng Pavilion restaurant is not as big as the name of the Baifeng Pavilion green building, but it can still be ranked in the capital, so Brother Gongsun does not have to worry about going to the wind and snow to find flowers and ask willows." ”

After that, Li Qianying probed his head and whispered in Gongsun Jian's ear: "Besides, if you want to go, we will discuss it privately, now that Dad and Li'er are here, I don't have much to say, if Brother Gongsun can't save face in front of the public and still wants to go, you can talk to me privately, let's give it a try." ”

Gongsun Jian pursed his lips, turned around and whispered, "Your Royal Highness, I'm really bad at that." ”

"Hey, they're all men, what are you afraid of."

Gongsun Jian is even more helpless, His Royal Highness does not seem to be as humble and decent as it seems, it is estimated that the prince can only put on a good child's appearance here, since he thinks so, Gongsun Jian can't admit that he is not a man, just shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything.

At this time, the steward greeted him, walked to Prince Mingqing's ear and whispered, the latter nodded without listening, and then said: "This king has some miscellaneous matters in the back, you young people will talk to each other first, and I will come over in a while, grandson and nephew, don't be restrained, just treat it as your own home." ”

Gongsun Jian got up and saluted, "The prince is busy, my father also told me before, there is no need to be polite to the prince." ”

Prince Mingqing tugged at the corners of his mouth and left the main hall.

Just when King Ming's front foot had just stepped out of the main hall, Li Lian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and smoothed his somewhat flat chest, "Finally left, Dad is under a lot of pressure here, like a tiger." ”
