(Thank you for the commuter pass of "yuen gen" "hhnet123"!) ）

This Cantonese restaurant is somewhat similar to the secret clubs of later generations, located in the inner part of the hutong, with no façade outside, and the restaurant only accepts one table per night, and only for dignitaries. The business of this restaurant is very hot, and if you want to come to eat, you basically have to wait for half a month, after all, only this mandarin duck hot pot is the most authentic in Beijing, and the base ingredients are all boiled in the best butter.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was illegal to eat beef, but there were people with certain privileges in any era, and the owner behind this restaurant was a Langzhong from the Ministry of Justice, so no one dared to come to the door to inspect it. In addition to this Beijing, there are several restaurants that operate mandarin duck pots, but their base is really selling beef with a sheep's head, and the better base is boiled with mutton fat, and some unscrupulous merchants directly use lard and chicken fat instead, naturally these Xibei goods are worse than butter.

Although the backstage owner of this restaurant is powerful, the business is booming, and ordinary people have to queue up for half a month to eat, but who is Jiang Yueguang? Jiang Yueguang is the elder of the cabinet, ranking third, second only to the first assistant Ma Mingyuan and the second assistant Tong Yangjia. At the same time, Jiang Yueguang is in charge of the judiciary, responsible for the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Police, the Imperial Historical Observatory, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and various ministries, which is the upper eyelid of this boss. So when Jiang Fu's family took Jiang Yueguang's post to locate the child, the boss immediately pushed away the original guests tonight and served Jiang Yueguang with all his might.

At the same time, the reason why Jiang Yueguang chose this place is not only the hidden location, but also the fact that the boss is from Guangdong, and the Huguang people in Zhu Hongsan's group are the most powerful, but these people all started with Zhu Hongsan, and they are all big members of the party until now. The middle-level officials have the advantage in Guangdong, after all, Zhu Hongsan's real foundation was laid in Guangdong.

Today, the boss learned that Jiang Yueguang came in person, waited at the door early, and saw Jiang Yueguang get off the sedan chair and hurriedly stepped forward to hold his stinky feet. "Elder Ge, you're here!"

Jiang Yueguang nodded and didn't speak, it's not that Jiang Yueguang was proud, but he really couldn't remember the name of this subordinate. There are more than ten middle-level officials like Lang Zhong in various ministries, and as few as seven or eight, and Jiang Yueguang can remember the names of so many people.

The boss saw the two sedan chairs in the back, one old and one young, Qu Shiyun he didn't recognize, but Qian Yiai did. In the past few years, Qian Yiai has ruthlessly cleaned up Beijing's social security, and the boss, as Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Justice, has dealt with Qian Yiai many times.

Qian Yiai has also experienced it in the past few years, and when he saw that Lang Zhong standing at the door, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother Zhang, the little brother is here to disturb today!" ”

Qian Yiai is from the third grade, and that Langzhong is only from the fourth grade, but Qian Yiai knows that the king of Hades is good at seeing little ghosts, so he thinks of himself as a little brother every time.

That Zhang surnamed Langzhong used to think that although Qian Yiai was Qian Qianyi's son, but your father is now retired, as the saying goes, a good person walks through tea, so he has never been yin or yang for Qian Yiai. But today, when I saw Qian Yiai appearing with Jiang Yueguang, I secretly said in my heart that it was not good, I didn't expect that this Qian Yiai could still have a relationship with Jiang Gelao, I don't know if I can wear small shoes for myself!

"It turned out to be Lord Qian, please come in, please come in!" Zhang Langzhong didn't dare to put on a show anymore, and hurriedly bowed down to invite Qian Yiai in.

Jiang Yueguang asked in a deep voice, "Li Ruopu is here?" ”

That Lang Zhong thought for a long time before he remembered that Li Ruopu was Li Zhi, and hurriedly said: "Elder Li Ge has arrived and is waiting inside!" ”

Jiang Yueguang walked in quickly with a cold face and Qu Shiyun, these two people can't be a dick in that Langzhong, but Qian Yiai can't help but speak, after all, that Langzhong is a central cadre, and he doesn't necessarily ask for someone at any time.

Qian Yiai stepped forward and took Zhang Langzhong's hand and said, "Brother Zhang, let's go in and have a drink with my little brother!" ”

Qian Yiai said politely, but that Lang Zhong dared to really go in, looking at this posture today, these big guys must discuss something, and it is better for him to hide far away.

"No! No! There are still some things in the foolish brother's family, so I won't accompany a few adults, Jiang Ge Lao asked the elder brother to say a few kind words in front of him! "Zhang Langzhong, as a four-grade Beijing official, usually doesn't care about the family's property, and today is completely to praise Jiang Yueguang's stinky feet, so this is a pun on the hope that Qian Yiai will say good things.

"Don't worry, Jiang Ge is always the uncle of the younger brother, and if Brother Zhang has any difficulties in the future, he can find the younger brother!" Qian Yiai did not forget to pull the tiger skin as a banner, and quickly told the relationship between himself and Jiang Yueguang.

"It's nature! And Brother Qian, who is the adult who went in with the elder just now? The foolish brother is very raw! ”

"That, he is the new governor of Liangjiang, Qu Shiyun, who has just been released from the edict prison this time, speaking of which, Lord Qu is the senior brother of the younger brother, so Jiang Ge wants to wash the dust for him!"

Zhang Langzhong was secretly speechless, Qu Shiyun! The one who suppressed the mob in Suzhou? Now that he has become a governor, he can't afford to mess with him. Zhang Langzhong, as a Beijing official, is okay to clean up those low-level officials such as the prefect, the governor, and the county, but the governor does not dare to offend the feudal officials. So after hearing that the person who was coaxing just now was Qu Shiyun, he hurriedly gave up his hand and said goodbye to Qian Yiai, how far away he was to hide.

Qian Yiai saw Zhang Langzhong fleeing in the wilderness, and sneered in his heart, let this guy be a powerful man in front of me, and he will salute when he sees Qian in the future!

Qian Yiai stood at the door and tidied up his clothes, then pushed open the door and walked in. Entering is a hall, with six chairs in the middle, this place is a living room, used to eat and take a break when you are tired.

At this time, Jiang Yueguang and the other three people in the room had already finished the ceremony and were sitting on chairs drinking tea and chatting.

Li Zhi saw Qian Yiai come in and smiled: "It turns out that our prefect is here!" We are all residents of this capital division, and it stands to reason that you are our superior! ”

Listening to Li Zhi's ridicule of Qian Yiai, he hurriedly bowed down and said that he didn't dare, here Qu Shiyun and Qian Yiai have the closest relationship, and at this time he relieved Qian Yiai and said: "This kid and old man have known him since he was a child, he was very naughty when he was a child, and I hope Li Ge will take care of him more in the future!" ”

"Haha Brother Qitian, you and I are old, and we may have to take care of Zigao in the future!"

Qian Yiai hurriedly saluted the three adults at this time, and then said: "The three adults laughed, the kid is only shallow, the three adults are thousands of feet high in the boy's opinion, and the kid has to climb hard!" ”

Li Zhi, who loves this sycophant, is very comfortable, and the four people in the house are Li Zhi with low knowledge, and he was only a top three back then, or he couldn't have been on the five-grade sea patrol for more than ten years. But the other three are different, Jiang Yueguang is the big man of Donglin, he was still a Jishi back then, although his knowledge is not as good as Qian Qianyi, but he is still much stronger than Li Zhi. Needless to say, Qu Shiyun's teacher is Qian Qianyi, a historian, and Qian Qian's love is even greater, and he became a famous prodigy in Suzhou at the age of fourteen. Now that Qian Yiai is putting Li Zhi on a par with the other two, how can he not make Li Zhi happy in his heart?

Originally, Jiang, Qu, and Li were not a faction in the house, and they didn't have a common language, so they were very embarrassed in the house just now, but now they were so troubled by Qian Yiai, the atmosphere in the house began to ease, and the three of them began to talk about some ups and downs.

At this time, a girl ring came out of the inner hall, and she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, which was the same age as a flower. So Yahuan walked in and bowed down and said, "Four masters, the inner hall is ready, please invite the four masters to eat!" ”

Qian Yiai was originally a romantic talent, and when she saw this woman's beautiful appearance, her eyes lit up, and she opened her mouth and said: "I didn't expect Zhang Langzhong to be so big, this is Yangzhou Skinny Horse, right?" ”

The Yangzhou Skinny Horse was a deformed trend that arose in the Ming Dynasty, in which some traffickers bought back little girls from poor families and taught them to learn pleasing skills such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs. When the little girls grow up, sell them to rich people as concubines, and the rest of the people who are not qualified enough will be sold to the Qinglou. When choosing a "thin horse", it is not only about appearance, in addition to looking at the face, "three-inch golden lotus" is also a very important selection criterion. Under the perverted aesthetic atmosphere at that time, people also used "thin, small, pointed, curved, fragrant, soft, and positive" as the standard for judging whether "thin horses" met the requirements.

Qian Yiai, as a big family, naturally knows this, that woman from the figure, appearance, and posture of the footsteps, Qian Yiai can see at a glance that this woman is a first-class thin horse. You must know that the best skinny horse costs a thousand silver dollars in Nanjing, and it will be doubled several times here in Beijing, it seems that Zhang Langzhong has really invested in it.

Li Zhi saw that Qian Yiai's vision was not bad, and said with a smile: "Zigao has good eyesight, this is a batch of skinny horses that Lao Zhang bought from Yangzhou for tens of thousands of silver dollars, if Zigao likes it, the old man can call the shots and send you one!" Although this restaurant is not Li Zhi's industry, Li Zhi is the leading brother of the Cantonese Party in Beijing, so he still has this face.

When the woman heard that she was going to give herself to Qian Yiai, she looked up and found that Qian Yiai was completely in line with the appearance of a romantic and talented man, and she couldn't help but be happy in her heart, and her face was red with shame for a while, and Qian Yiai couldn't take a step when she saw that woman like this.

Li Zhi laughed when he saw that Qian Yiai was so useless, waved his hand and called the shopkeeper at the door and said, "You go and tell Lao Zhang to send this woman to Qian Zhifu's house, and you can go to my house to get all the expenses!" ”

The shopkeeper will also come to trouble, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Then dare to let the old man spend, the old man has just ordered the villain, all the expenses are counted on my master, and he also prepared a first-class thin horse for each of the four adults, and it will be sent to the mansion of all the adults after the banquet!" ”

Seeing that the shopkeeper was so sensible, Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction, and walked into the inner hall hand in hand after humbling each other with Jiang Yueguang and Qu Shiyun.

The inner hall is a room independent in the bamboo forest, the layout is magnificent, the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall are genuine, and at the same time there are three women standing in the house, the appearance is not inferior to the woman who greeted the guest just now, it seems that this is the thin horse that Zhang Langzhong gave to a few people.
