"Lord Zhang. Congratulations. "One is an official in the court. But I don't know Zhang Fan very well at all. It's just someone I've met a few times. Come to Zhang Fan's side. A burst of hello.

"Thank you, Lord Wang, for coming to the Humble House." Although Zhang Fan is not very familiar with this person. But he still pandered to it for a while.

After sending in such a one. There were still many people waiting in line to say hello to Zhang Fan. Say a couple of words.

It's not a big day. Of course. That's just for ordinary people. For the Zhang family. Today is the day when the Zhang family is going to add another person. Even if that person had already lived in Zhang's mansion. But. Since Zhang Fan promised to give her a grand scene. Even if it's a concubine. And so it should be.

Reflecting the moon. Exactly the protagonist today. Zhang Fan had promised her. Wait until he returns to Beijing from Jiangnan. is going to officially marry her and enter the door. Zhang Fan has never forgotten this matter. Even on the way back by boat. He's already thinking about it. It's just that Zhang Fan didn't think of it. He had just returned to the capital, and he encountered many tricky things waiting for him to deal with. The matter of taking a concubine was also shelved by him.

Now. That's all right. Plus these days. Yingyue, this girl, will always have some awkwardness with Zhang Fan intentionally or unintentionally. The people of the entire Zhang Mansion can basically see it. Zhao didn't think that Yingyue was too "lively". On the contrary, I like her even more. also went to Zhang Fan to tell him about it.

After Zhang Fan listened. I remembered it immediately. Think about it again. I don't have anything else to do now. This marriage can also make Yingyue feel at ease if it is done earlier. I agreed.

It is said that it is a marriage. But after all, it's a concubine. Specifications and sizes are specified. So I didn't prepare for too many days. It will be ready in just two or three days. It's just that there isn't much time to prepare. But looking at this scene, it doesn't look shabby at all. It's really complete.

This is also thanks to the silver that Longqing said he would reward Zhang Fan. The silver was sent to Zhang Fan's home by Ge Shouli on the fourth day of Zhang Fan's return. It was two thousand one hundred and fifty seven thousand one hundred and twenty taels of silver. All of them were recast into official ingots by the Ministry of Households. It was packed in a box and transported to Zhang Fan's home.

Frankly. Just listen to the number. It's just that it feels like a lot. But how many are there. But I didn't have a specific impression. But when all this money is heaped up in front of men. This impression is very clear. Look at the heaps of heavy boxes like hills. Zhang Fan was a little speechless again. He hadn't seen it before. When I was in Yangzhou. When more than 50,000 taels of silver were loaded onto the ship. He's right next to him. So it's clear to see. But those are the silver of the imperial court after all. For an empire with such a large territory and such a large population. That's not a lot of money. But nowadays. He knew that all the money in front of him was his own. It made him feel a little dizzy.

And the Zhao family on the side. At first, I learned that Longqing rewarded Zhang Fan with silver. I still feel happy and proud in my heart. But when he watched as the people kept carrying the boxes into their homes. Zhao's psychological endurance has also been greatly tested. Fortunately, Yingyue was supported by the side.

The money is there. But how to store it. Zhang Fan had no way at all. You can't just leave it in the garden. At last. There is no way. I had to trouble these people to put all the silver into the basement of Zhang's mansion. OK. Originally, this palace had a very large basement. It's just that now it's also full of silver.

Ancient times. The function of the bank here seems to be equivalent to that of a modern bank. But actually. Streets apart. If you put money in it. Not only does it not get any interest. They are also given a fee similar to the management fee. But now. Zhang Fan can't care about this. Anyone who has so much cash in his house. There's no way to sleep peacefully. Zhang Fan is not worried about money. Instead, I was worried about the bad guys who fell in love with the money. So the next day. And he deposited the money in the bankery.

With this silver. It's very quick to get things ready. Now this banquet can be held so vigorously in such a short period of time. The money was also a great deal.

For today. Zhang Fan can be regarded as having put in a lot of effort. Invitations were sent to almost all the officials in the capital who could be named. And these officials are also very face-saving. Basically, all of them came.

Li Chunfang is now standing in front of Zhang Fan. Now the matter about him has been decided. Just waiting for Longqing's edict. He'll be able to go home. But before that. He still has some things to do. GROHE. This person who has already made it clear that he will be in the cabinet. Although he has not yet entered the cabinet. But he had already begun to familiarize himself with everything in the cabinet. But don't get me wrong. Since he has not yet entered the cabinet. Now I just went to see Li Chunfang alone. It's just a matter of letting him guide you. Actually, most of the things don't need to be explained. The daily work of the cabinet is no different from that of ordinary officials. What's different is that the number of facts has increased. And the importance of the matter has only increased.

Today. Zhang Fan took advantage of the fact that Li Chunfang was about to leave. I specially invited him over. It's kind of a narrative. Li Chunfang's plan for Zhang Fan. Naturally, there was no objection.

The guests are almost here. Li Chunfang saw that Zhang Fan was still waiting at the door. I can't help but be curious. He walked over and asked, "Yuande." Who are you waiting for? ”

"There are two more people who haven't arrived." Zhang Fan replied with a smile.

"There are two more ......" Li Chunfang didn't know which two people would make Zhang Fan wait like this. Now almost all the guests are down. Familiar unfamiliar. Could it be that it is Longqing. No way. Not to mention that Zhang Fan is marrying a concubine. It is to marry a wife. The Emperor will not come either. Besides. That Zhu Yijun had already come to Zhang's mansion. "Could it be ......" Li Chunfang thought of another impossible possibility in her heart.

When Li Chunfang was secretly guessing. A four-person sedan chair stopped in front of Zhang's house. The person who carries the sedan chair presses the sedan chair. Lift the curtains. A man came out of it.

"Lord Zhang. Congratulations. The person who came looked at Zhang Fan with a smile and said. There was a delay on the way. I hope that Mr. Zhang will forgive me. ”

Zhang Fan didn't have the slightest sense of blame. is also a pleasant face: "Where is Lord Guo?" You're kind to you. Hurry up and sit inside. ”

Not bad. The person who came was Guo Pu.

saw Guo Pu's figure appear here. Li Chunfang was really a little surprised in her heart. He really didn't expect it. Zhang Fan would invite him to come. Now the two are still in two camps competing with each other. And the two sides had just had a fight, not a few days ago. Zhang Fan invited Guo Pu to come at this time. This seems very inappropriate to Li Chunfang. And now it was they who won the last battle. Zhang Fan did so. The most obvious impression is that he wants to ridicule Guo Pu. However, Li Chunfang felt that it was a bit inappropriate to do so. Even if the other side loses. It's not a complete defeat. There is no room for counterattack. If Zhang Fan wanted to sarcastically mock him at this time. Obviously unwise.

But look at the look of Zhang Fan and Guo Pu talking and laughing like this. The worry in Li Chunfang's heart was also lowered a little. But wait until Guo Pu walks into the gate of Zhang's mansion. saw Zhang Fan still standing at the door waiting. Didn't go in. Li Chunfang's heart began to be anxious again.

That's when he remembered. What Zhang Fan just said was two people. And now. This is just Guo Pu's one. There should be one more person at that. Could it be ......

"Yuande. You...... You're not ......" Li Chunfang wanted to ask Zhang Fan about it. But it was because he was surprised by what he thought in his heart. I was already stammering a little when I spoke.

Zhang Fan looked at Li Chunfang's appearance. There's something funny in my heart. Although Li Chunfang was not able to speak clearly. But Zhang Fan still understood what he wanted to say: "Not bad." Just as Master Lee thought. I even loosened the invitation from him. ”

"This ...... This ......" Li Chunfang got Zhang Fan's answer. But it's a little more confusing. "Why did you go and ask him?" This "he" refers to the high arch of course.

Li Chunfang invited Guo Pu over to Zhang Fan. In fact, there was not much opposition in my heart. After all, Guo Pu's character as an official is well understood. Although he is not happy, he has been following Gao Gong now. But Ruoguang is facing Guo Pu himself. He still agrees with it.

But treat the high arch. The old ones are just gone. Especially now this unscrupulous, unscrupulous high arch that does nothing. Li Chunfang can be said to be the extreme. In addition, when he played for Xu Jie's grievances that day. This emotion in his heart also increased dramatically.

And now. Zhang Fan said to him, invited Gao Gong to come over. Naturally, he was a little surprised.

And Zhang Fan can fully understand Li Chunfang's mood. When he posted at the time. At first, I didn't even think about asking for a high arch. But somehow. In the end, he always felt that there were few fewer people who should have been there, and he was not invited. Come to think of it. I don't know what's going on. He remembered Gao Gong and Guo Pu. It's just that he also has the same mind as Li Chunfang. Guo Pu is easier to please. But the high arch is ......

The sun is almost in the middle of the day. And there is still no trace of a sedan chair on the road. Li Chunfang accompanied Zhang Fan and waited until now. Now he's almost fixed. The high arch is not coming. After all, the arch is arrogant. Recently, something has been frustrated. How could they agree to the opponent's invitation?

Li Chunfang, who was about to persuade Zhang Fan not to wait, heard Zhang Fan say "Come". Hear this. Li Chunfang couldn't help but feel a tightening in her heart. He looked ahead. Really. In the distance, a palanquin was slowly approaching.
