"Grandpa, Lan Yong, who my father sent to 'Mongolia' Gu, may have been killed, it was Zhao Quan, who is now locked up in the dungeon, told me, I am worried that my father will have an accident in 'Mongolian' Gu, and I want him to come back but he doesn't want to come back yet, and my grandson really has no choice, so I asked my grandfather to write a letter to my father to come back."

"Forget it, let him be in the 'Meng' Gu, there have been too many accidents in the court during this period of time, the emperor still wants to reuse the Jinyi Guard, the people inside know your father, it is more dangerous to come back, or in the 'Mongolian' Gu safety point, let him hide from the limelight there first, now the court is still investigating, according to my report, Chen Jiu sent someone to the customs outside the secret investigation, so it's better to be careful."

I really don't know about Chen Jiu's secret investigation outside the gate, especially Chen Jiu pretending to be dead for a while, what is he doing, is it really to track down the Lan family's case, but whether he is investigating the Lan family's case, or is he investigating the 'Yin' Demon Sect.

"Grandpa, how should we deal with the investigation of the 'Yin' Demon Sect and the East Factory."

"Now the situation is getting more and more complicated, the actions of the 'Yin' Demon Sect are getting bigger and bigger, but it is not clear whether Feng Bao is the head of the 'Yin' Demon Sect, you have to pay attention to protecting yourself, I will deal with something, you can do your own work, I will notify you in time if there is something important, you can come here to find the shopkeeper, don't go to the celebrant to find me, there are many people there, especially those who are eunuchs, their hearts are very sensitive, don't let them see our relationship."

"Grandpa, then I won't do anything here?"

"It's not about doing nothing, this time your wedding is a good opportunity, take the opportunity to see how the emperor treats you, and Zhang Juzheng to go for a walk over there, I said just now, he will treat you as his own person, and you can also show more, as for your wedding, the 'Yin' Demon Sect may have actions, you take precautions as soon as possible, and I will also arrange for someone outside to secretly investigate." Okay, let's go back early, it's not very safe here, although there is a cover from this place, let's change places in the future. ”

After bidding farewell to Wang Qiang, the shopkeeper personally sent me below, and returned to the 'jade' horse lane after meeting with Lao Liu's father and son.

For several days in a row, I went to the Ya'men to rebuild the printing workshop, and the emperor did not summon me for the first time, but the soldiers of the Shence Army were also transferred to 200, and now our guards have reached 400 soldiers. At the same time as rebuilding these workshops, we built four watchtowers at the four corners of the courtyard wall, which was also a temporary decision to strengthen the defense in order to learn the lessons of the last time, and Sui Jian'chun made this suggestion according to their experience in building watchtowers outside the gate.

Seeing that the wedding date was getting closer and closer, Liu Taoran and Xing Zhiwei asked me to go to the wedding first, not to come to the ya'men', I looked at the workshop that has now been renovated, and the watchtower that has been built, and I agreed to their request, and wholeheartedly went to 'operate' my own wedding.

Now Lao Liu has also completely gone to our new mansion, and I have done all the wedding matters there, and I see that there is nothing to do at home, and I also took a few of them, sitting in my new sedan chair, to the new mansion.

The new mansion is next door to the Wei Mansion, the exterior wall is more whitewashed, snow-white and snow-white, although it is winter, it is not good for construction but it will not be too shabby when the emperor comes up, when the exterior wall is painted, the shed is first erected, the stove is born inside, and the shed is demolished after the whitewashed lime is dry, and the Wei Mansion has really invested a lot of money for this big wedding. The large 'doors' were open, and a number of improvised craftsmen were moving in and out of the building and decoration materials.

The yard is also a newly paved floor tile, in the middle is facing the big 'gate' and there is a newly repaired rockery, there are a few trees on the side that seem to be just transplanted to welcome the pine, in this hundred 'flowers' withered, all things dormant season, the green branches and leaves of the welcome pine, it seems particularly likeable, giving people a fresh feeling, I took a few of them around this rockery to see, in the house to clean up the old Liu also saw us coming, greeted out and said: "My lord, you are here, you see that you are still satisfied." ”

"Brother Liu, you bothered, yes, this is a lot of effort." I said in admiration.

"My lord, this is not what I 'get', this is what Lord Wei came over to arrange for someone, with a few of us who have this idea, Lord Wei said, this emperor will also come, we can't let the emperor look down on us, just do our best."

"Very good, we must do our best, so that the emperor is satisfied, Brother Liu, you will have to worry more about this period of time, don't hurt the silver, what should be 'spent' will be 'spent', and you can't let the Wei Mansion pay for it, after all, this is our mansion, we should take the lion's share, how long does it take for Brother Liu to finish now."

"My lord, now it's almost outside the outside, and the inside of the room has been repaired for more than half of it, and there are still two days left, and it's time to buy furniture and other things in a few days, and those bits and pieces of home furnishings have to be replaced with new ones, and the servants at home are not enough, shouldn't you go to the human market to buy something new."

"Is this, I think it's okay, Brother Liu, now the emperor is coming, 'getting' some unfamiliar people to come in, there is a great hidden danger to safety, I think it's better to go to someone familiar to borrow some over, after all, they all know the roots, and they won't do anything rebellious, the emperor's safety is a big deal, it's really not good, I will go to the restaurant that day to hire a group of people, the banquet is the key, to do it at home, but also to ensure the safety of the wine and food, there can be no problems."

While watching, he and Lao Liu came to the hall, this is the courtyard of the three entrances, the first into the hall, that is, the living room, the study, and two side rooms, one is a small living room, and the other is a bedroom, which is used as a guest room. The inside has also been freshly painted, and the smell of lime is still very strong, and the windows and large 'doors' have also been freshly brushed with paint. New tiles have just been laid on the floor, and workers are cleaning up. Several rooms inside are also being cleaned up, and workers are cleaning and painting the walls.

"My lord, I'm done here today, let's go and have a look at the back."

Following Lao Liu Youdao into the courtyard for the second time, Lao Liu introduced as he walked: "My lord, this courtyard is your new house, and there are a few rooms, which are prepared for the little master and young lady in the future, and the lady's 'maid' and 'daughter' also live here, and they are still being renovated, so don't go in yet, let's go to the back and have a look." ”

"Okay, Brother Liu bothered, what is the place when you enter the yard later."

"My lord, the back is where the subordinates live, and the kitchen is in the backyard."

After passing through the second courtyard, I came to the third courtyard at the back, and the third courtyard was a bungalow lower than the front, and each compartment was not very large, and it was divided from the middle, one was the place where the 'female' dependents lived, and the other was where the male servant lived, and there were still great changes here, and the house was the same as it was, but the windows and 'doors' were painted.

I asked, "Brother Liu, why hasn't it been repaired here?" ”

"My lord, now the main thing is to repair the courtyard in front, and the back is where our subordinates live, and others will not come, so let's just take a look, and wait for next year's 'spring' day to repair it."

"That's how good, I think you still have to find a few more people these days, paint what should be painted in this room, and pave the floor when it should be paved, you can't let people say that I favor one over the other, it's not good for you, and a few fathers-in-law's rooms should also be done well, for us, they are still guests."

"Okay, my lord, I'll arrange it, and then add people to repair this place, and there is a small 'flower' garden over there, let's go and see it, if the adult feels that it is not suitable there, I will modify it."

Lao Liu took us to the southeast corner of the courtyard, where an acre of square place was demarcated, although it is not big, but it is also a small 'flower' garden, there is a pavilion, the pavilion is also freshly painted red paint, and even the glazed tiles on the top of the pavilion are also newly replaced. There are also a lot of 'flowers' and grasses, although they have withered in winter and can't tell what they are, but they have all been trimmed, and they are not newly transplanted, they should be original.

"My lord, these 'flowers' and plants are all original, I think they are all good, so they have been renovated, and no new ones have been transplanted, and when the next year's 'spring' day, if the adults don't like these, I will change them again."

"Forget Brother Liu, this is not bad, let's do it first, and then talk about it when it needs to be corrected in the future, does Lord Wei come over often?"

"Yes, my lord, Lord Wei, every day when I come back from the court, I will come to take a look, and we will ask him if we don't understand something, this rockery and welcome pine are also the attention of Lord Wei, and Mrs. Wei often comes, but the young lady comes less."

"Brother Liu, remember, when the family members of the Wei Mansion come to help, you should treat them well, don't neglect them, this is our business, it's good that people come to help, and at the end, you also have some silver as a reward. Also, you also have to pay close attention to each family member, you also know that the emperor will come to our wedding, and when the time comes, I am afraid that we will have internal ghosts, so this task will be 'handed over' to you, but don't put everyone in danger, only if you find something suspicious, don't use it. ”

"Okay, my lord, in fact, I think that if the emperor comes, I'm afraid that our servants here will not serve the emperor, since my lord has a good relationship with Mr. Chen, it is better to let Mr. Chen send some palace 'female' eunuchs over that day, just serve the emperor, and the rest of the guests, we can serve."

It's also Lao Liu who said well, go to the palace to borrow a few eunuchs palace 'women' to come over, one is safe, and the other is their responsibility even if something happens, after paying attention to it, I 'handed over' a few words to Lao Liu, I want to go back first, as for the Wei Mansion, I really want to go to see Zihan, but everyone has a lot of rules for the ladies, this is going to get married, and it is even more to avoid suspicion, although I really want to see her, but I still suppress the thoughts in my heart, and I am ready to wait for the 'hole' room 'flower' candle night to see the beauty again.
