Huang Xi is a thoughtful person, he didn't look for Huang Jiwei immediately, and after thinking about it for several days, he found an opportunity to meet Huang Jiwei.

There are strict regulations for eunuchs to leave the palace, except for official trips such as proclamation and purchasing, the rest of the time is not allowed to leave the palace, and many palace maids and eunuchs have not been out of the palace for decades.

Huang Xi is the pacification of the secret guard, often have to go to the secret guard yamen to sit on duty errands, the secret guard yamen used to be located in the main hall next to the palm seal prison, and then because of the inconvenience of access, Shi Fangzhen moved the secret guard yamen to the southwest corner, the junction of the palace city and the imperial city, located in the province of Anfu Gate. It is adjacent to Fuxing and Shizheng Fang, and Huang Jiwei's family house is in Shizheng Fang.

The Huang family, as one of the families, once had a prime minister, three scholars, and hundreds of officials, and now the father of Huang Jiye, the right of the Ministry of Political Affairs, is the head of the Huang family, and the father of Huang Jiwei and Huang Shufei is his third brother. Since the Son of Heaven appointed the left and right ministers, the political affairs hall became the government affairs department, which was placed alongside the three provinces of Zhongshu Province and the Secretary Province, and was subject to the jurisdiction of the left and right ministers. After Chen Chengji, the original political affairs hall, was promoted to the left minister, Mao Huacheng, the right minister of the Ministry of Political Affairs, took over the left Cheng, and the right Cheng was replaced by Huang Jiye.

When the time came, Huang Xi changed into the gray sheepskin robe that scholars often wore and went out, he was a calming adult, and no one dared to ask him where he was going.

There are locust trees planted on both sides of the Tongqu Street of Shi Zhengfang, and the leaves of the trees have long since fallen, leaving the branches to protect the Zhumen Building under them. Huang Xi paced slowly on the street with his hands behind his back, he liked the taste of the governance square, rich and restrained, and the blue-black tiles were a little cold and arrogant.

The place to meet Huang Jiwei is a teahouse in Shi Zhengfang, this teahouse called "Shizuka" is not like an ordinary teahouse is a two-storey storefront on the street, from the carved gatehouse to enter, the winding path flowers from the middle to see the small bridge flowing water, pavilions and pavilions are now in the bamboo and plum, clearly is the Jiangnan courtyard pattern.

The maid held a lantern to lead the way in front of her, with a graceful posture. Passing through the archway, Huang Xi stood at the promenade and looked at a red plum tree in the corner of the courtyard. Such a courtyard used to be his dream, spending tea, playing chess, reading, accompanying his confidants, and facing his red face, what more could he ask for.

The maid was waiting beside her, and Huang Xi retracted her gaze abruptly, her once sweet dream had turned into a nightmare because of Jiang Anyi, even if she had more courtyards, she couldn't buy back that young dream, and she would never see her father and family again. The corners of his mouth tightened, Huang Xi motioned to the maid to continue walking, the hatred in his heart was surging like a shadow, and the poisonous snake devoured his heart.

Frost Red Pavilion, surrounded by a brocade curtain, the bottom of the pavilion is burning with floor heat, the pavilion is as warm as spring, a woman is playing the flute softly, Huang Jiwei closed his eyes slightly, and his right hand was gently beating on the armrest of the chair.

"The guests are here." The little guy standing in front of the pavilion called softly, and Huang Jiwei stood up and strode down the pavilion steps.

Looking at Huang Xi who was approaching, Huang Jiwei smiled and said: "Mr. is late, I am overjoyed, the wind is cold at night, the fragrant tea is ready, please inside." ”

Although he is a eunuch, Huang Xi thinks that he is a scholar, Huang Jiwei calls him Mr., which makes Huang Xi very happy, and the small title shows that Huang Jiwei is clever and clever.

Holding the pot to pour tea for Huang Xi, Huang Jiwei smiled and said: "This is the dew needle tea produced in Duanzhou Yaoshan Mountain, there are only dozens of tea leaves near the Lingquan of Yuanyao Mountain, you see that the color is red and bright, the fragrance is sweet and pure, and it is suitable to drink this tea in winter." ”

Huang Xi put on a celebrity style, uncovered the lid to see its color first, then smelled its fragrance, took advantage of the heat to decorate and taste the taste, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the tea is good, the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, the bottom of the throat is sweet, and the heart is relaxed." ”

Huang Jiwei drank tea with Huang Xi slowly and methodically, discussing the nine virtues of tea. He's this year

Forty two, twenty-eight years old in the middle of the office, from the ninth grade of the criminal department of the head of the work for 14 years, to today is from the sixth grade of the Si Nong Temple, in the Beijing officials are promoted quickly. However, people's hearts are insufficient, compared to the children of other families, Huang Jiwei feels that he is quite unsatisfactory, just because his sister is a concubine and his nephew is King Chu'an, it is not delusional to sit in the position of six departments and nine qing in front of Zhishi.

After the New Year, he was not confused, but his self-motivation was as vigorous as weeds, King Chu'an went out of the palace to build a mansion, and Huang Jiwei, an uncle, came to talk every now and then to cultivate family affection. The hard work was not in vain, Shi Chongjie and him became closer and closer, but the idle Yushi of the Yushitai actually impeached himself for clinging to the prince, with bad intentions.

The Son of Heaven did not blame, his sister-in-law sent this Huang Gonggong to warn him, and after talking, Huang Gonggong hinted that he should be calm and wait for the opportunity. This made Huang Jiwei overjoyed, Huang Gonggong is a close confidant of his sister-in-law, and he secretly guards and calms down, his words represent the meaning of the sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law finally opened up and knew that she was fighting for her family. Huang Jiwei understood the meaning of Huang Gonggong's words, everything is for the king of Chu'an, the bird follows the phoenix, how far the king of Chu'an can go, how far his own people can go.

In order to facilitate contact, Huang Jiwei told Huang Xi that the teahouse of "Shizuka" was the Huang family's business, and as long as he set a time with the shopkeeper for something, he would meet on time in the Shuanghong Pavilion. This meeting was Huang Xi's agreement two days ago.

After the song was blown, the maid and others retreated, Huang Jiwei was anxious, and the tea splashed out of the cup when he poured the tea.

Huang Xi smiled secretly, this Lord Huang entrusted himself to Huang Shufei to speak nicely, and when they met, he wanted to ask himself, and he made a solemn appearance, which did not show his legs. Time is limited, Huang Xi doesn't plan to go around in circles anymore, and said: "I have already told Niangniang about Lord Huang, and Niangniang is already thinking of a way." I heard that Mengzhou Beijia will be promoted at the end of the year, and his position is vacant, I wonder if Lord Huang has any intentions? ”

Mengzhou is Xiazhou, don't drive from the five grades, compared with Huang Jiwei's current Sinong Temple Cheng four levels higher, but the Beijing official foreign appointment will be promoted by one or two orders according to the routine, and then will be the official rank of the sixth grade as Mengzhou's special driver. However, Mengzhou is also in the northwest border, in the northeast of Huazhou, Huazhou also has three checkpoints with the Western Regions, but the border of Mengzhou is a desert, few caravans pass by, although there is no disaster of war, but it is a poor place, there is very little oil and water, and it belongs to the inferior class in the twenty-seven states.

Huang Jiwei showed a look of embarrassment, and Huang Xi smiled: "Lord Huang will go to Mengzhou for two years of training first, and then Huang Niangniang will find a way to transfer you back to Beijing. ”

was told by Huang Xi, Huang Jiwei said with a smile on his face: "What Mr. taught is that Huang is short-sighted, Mr. doesn't have to call Huang, you and I are commensurate with each other, and Mr. calls me Brother Huang." ”

Huang Jiwei has a deep understanding of his sister's cold temperament, and eighty percent of this matter is what the Huang father-in-law in front of him said for himself in front of his sister-in-law. Huang Jiwei took out a small brocade box from his arms, put it on the table, and said: "My sister's oil and salt don't enter, and I don't need to be my brother's face, or Huang Xian's words, your words work, and my brother's will give you a little toy to show your heart." ”

Open the brocade box, inside is a piece of mutton fat white jade, delicate and warm like clotted fat. Huang Xi couldn't help but reach out and take out the jade piece, it was a jade tiger that was only eating food, and the carving was first-class. The most strange thing is that there is a yellow spot on the tiger's head, which is exactly the word "king".

Huang Xi played with it for a moment, put the jade tiger into the box, and pushed it back. Huang Jiwei's heart sank, this jade piece cost him 1,300 taels of silver, it's not cheap, why is this Huang Gonggong too little?

"Brother Huang is looking down on me, although I, Huang Xi, am a eunuch, I also know loyalty.

Niangniang has the grace to save my life, the prince treats me very kindly, how can I take Brother Huang's things, put them away quickly, don't irritate my face. Huang Xi said with a straight face.

The gift was not given, and Huang Jiwei was in a good mood. Seeing Huang Jiwei happily carrying the brocade box back into his arms, a hint of sarcasm flashed in Huang Xi's eyes, how can I Huang Xi want something that a bird like you understands.

"Brother Huang is in charge of the foreign office this time, and the mother entrusted Ma Zhongshu with the door, and it should be safe to let Huang Youcheng also say hello to Master Pan at that time." Huang Xi was a little windy.

Ma Zhongshu, Zhongshu Lang Ma Suizhen, he was frustrated and did not become the prime minister, but he was appointed by the Son of Heaven as the prince of the king of Chu'an, with this relationship, Ma Suizhen is naturally close to the Huang family. Huang Jiwei nodded again and again, and asked his cousin Huang Jiye to deliver a word, such a favored cousin should not shirk.

After taking a sip of tea, Huang Xi said again: "The prince is getting bigger, and there are many entertainments, so it is not possible to recruit talented people without money, after Brother Huang is appointed to Mengzhou, he will think of some ways to accumulate wealth, and the prince can show his skills in Beijing, isn't it Jiang Anyi's perfume shop?" Brother Huang, last time I heard you mention the Wenchi Mansion in Tashan County, Huazhou, Tashan County has an old order with you, you might as well ask him to buy a few more sets, this time Ma Zhongshu contributed a lot, in the name of the prince to reward him with a set, Ma Zhongshu will be happy. ”

Coming out of Shizuka Teahouse, Huang Xi looked up at the starry sky in the sky, shook his head helplessly, and still walked towards the Secret Guard Yamen with his hands behind his back. Huang Jiwei's throbbing face flashed in front of him, didn't he ask him to pay 20,000 taels of silver to buy a few mansions in Luo Baishan for King Chu'an to reward his subordinates, as for the heartache like that? The Huang family, one of the top ten families, is nothing to the Huang family with tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Thinking of the situation of the mother in the palace, Huang Xi sighed secretly, compared with the Wang family, the Huang family is too short-sighted, without the support of the mother in the palace, the Huang family is even worse than the Li family. Huang Xi sighed for a long time, it seems that King Anchu's side has to think of some way for the silver here.

Huang Xi left, and Huang Jiwei also went home. Huangfu is one of the best gates in the governance square, the plaque of Xuanwu Hou in front of the door is passed from the founding period of Dazheng, Xuanwu Hou is the hereditary Hou earned by the ancestors of the Huang family, and now the Xuanwu Marquis is Huang Jiye's father Huang Yongsheng. Huang Jiwei's father, Huang Yonghe, is Huang Yongsheng's third brother, and the old lady pressed the two families to live in the east and west courtyards. Of course, the west courtyard where Huang Yonghe lives is not as grand as the east courtyard, and there is a lady concubine in the west courtyard, and the two families maintain a superficial harmony.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, the Huang family's industry has more than one million taels every year, and the West Courtyard has less than 400,000 yuan, because Huang Shufei is unwilling to say things for the clansmen in front of the Son of Heaven.

Huang Jiwei smiled bitterly under the lamp, and he saw Huang Xi's disdain in his eyes, but he couldn't say it. The father of the West Courtyard is still there, and he has the final say on the money and wealth in the family, he is the grandson of the West Courtyard, and there is a sister who is a mother, and life is better, but he married a five-room concubine, there are seven men and four women, all of them reach out to ask for money, and no matter how much silver they have, they have to save some money. In the end, Huang Jiwei hit Wei Libo with the idea and pushed his second son Huang Wenxiang out for some silver.

Where did Wei Libo know the thoughts of this prospective in-law, and he thought about how to explain to Jiang Tingshi, and finally forced him to have nothing to do, so he simply gritted his teeth and told Jiang Tingshi that it was King Chu An who wanted to buy another business, as for whether it was true or not, he couldn't care about it, I believe that Jiang Tingshi didn't dare to ask King Chu'an, and besides, the house was bought by Jiang Tingshi's people, and no one would say anything about making a fortune in a muffled voice.

After making up his mind, Wei Libo instructed: "Prepare a sedan chair and go to Luobai Mountain." ”(https:)
