Hearing Li Shimin say this, several bigwigs in the army sighed in their hearts.

In the past, everyone could more or less intercept part of the approved money, but everyone didn't do too much, so that Hou Junji tossed the money not only didn't have it, but also found a noose around his neck.

In the future, if you want to do something with money, you have to look at the face of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the key is that no one knows what kind of regulations the Ministry of Civil Affairs will make, and many people in the army are extremely angry at Hou Junji's stupid behavior.

Hou Junji originally thought that with Li Shimin's grace, no matter what he wanted, he would have to ask for this money, but he did what Wei Chi Laohei couldn't do, so that his subordinates showed their ability. But he didn't realize that the court had the rules of the court, and it didn't count if he didn't ask for the money, but he didn't expect to be beaten back with a stick on his head, making him not a person inside and out.

Seeing that Li Shimin had spoken, Hou Junji suddenly returned to his place and sat down, and when he sat down, he obviously felt the angry or contemptuous glances of his colleagues around him.

"Lao Du, you can! Fight your mouth to set a set, amazing! After Du Ruhui sat back, Xiao Zheng said with a smile

"That is, you think I sleep like you in the court every day? When is it not noisy? Talking to his own people, Du Ruhui was not polite.

"I know that your old Du is hard, but I want to ask where is the Cheng Zhang and the form you said, I just mentioned this matter to you casually, I think where do you find it when the saint asks you?"

"Cut, I'm Shangguan, you work under me, isn't it natural for Shangguan to ask his subordinates to write a charter and get a form out? Lord Xiao, it's been a lot of time for three days, right? My old Du has been above the court all day long to prevent disasters for you, do you also want to support Shangguan's official duties" Du Ruhui said to Xiao Zheng in a low voice.

"I'm ......, okay, count you ruthless, and the subordinate will obey orders."

After dispersing, Xiao Zheng was the first to go out, ran to the gate of the palace and began to send invitations to everyone.

"Mr. Auxiliary Machine, the newly opened restaurant on the edge of the Qujiang River is called 'Yingzhou Pavilion', which has just opened, and I am going to invite you to a banquet there, please come on the tenth day of the first month."

"Fang Xiang, this is your invitation, don't forget to bring your wife then."

"Lao Hei, this is yours, bring your wife when you go", "And General Qin's".

Seeing Hou Junji, Xiao Zheng took the initiative to hand over the invitation, Hou Junji didn't answer it, just snorted and turned his head to leave, this guy brought all the anger in the court to the court.

The people who received the invitation were a little inexplicable, the big red invitation cover painted two elegant orchids, but it was written on it to let the lady go with it was a little curious, unless the family was good, otherwise who met for the first time asked people to take the lady to go, but since the invitation was received, then bring it first.

At dusk on the tenth day of the first lunar month, Fang Xuanling took his wife Lu to the edge of the Qujiang River. As soon as the husband and wife got out of the car, a man and a woman came over with very well-dressed waiters. The woman led Lu to a sign that read "Exclusive Women's Passage" and walked in.

Fang Xuanling walked a few steps before he saw Du Ruhui also coming over, "Keming, let's go, let's go in together."

Stepping on the road of bluestone slab in the plum forest, the faint fragrance of plum blossoms came over, the red, pink, white plum blossoms have been competing to bloom, the plum branches are straight or curved and strong like swimming dragons, there is a huge stone in the forest, it is written on the top "taste wine and appreciate the plum blossoms", the plum blossoms and the words are relatively very charming. Seven or eight small red lanterns are hung on each plum tree, reflecting the blooming plum blossoms in purple and red.

When I looked up, I saw that the three pavilions were brightly lit, and although no one was making a noise, there was a tactful sound of silk and bamboo. The lights on the upper floor are reflected in the water of the Qujiang River, and the half-full moon in the sky reflect each other, and the water is sparkling, and the three buildings appear bright but not carved, elegant but not tacky.

The two chatted and arrived at the door of the restaurant, Fang Xuanling looked up and saw that there was a plaque hanging directly above the door, on which were written the three big characters of "Yingzhou Pavilion", but it was strange that the three big characters on the plaque were not paid. On the pillar on one side of the door, there is a couplet that has just risen, and what is even more strange is that only half of it is hung on the left side, and the five words "smoke lock pond willow" are written on it, but there is no other half on the right.

Fang Xuanling looked at the words written on the plaque and half of the couplet very familiarly, thought for a while, and suddenly he pointed to the words and said to Du Ruhui in surprise: "Keming, this is not a saint's ......"

Du Ruhui shook his head with a smile and said, "Just know, that guy made it."

"Alas!" Fang Xuanling also shook his head helplessly and entered the store.

As soon as you enter the hall, it is extremely spacious, with "Sword Qi Like Frost" written on the left side, and "Yin Feng Makes the Moon" written on the right side, needless to say, it is a different area prepared for this group of people who are Xiwen or Xiwu. On the second floor, there is no noisy and noisy feeling, but there are many more private rooms, because it has just opened and is not open to the public.

Fang Xuanling looked for a long time and didn't know how to go up to the third floor, and couldn't help but look at Du Ruhui curiously.

"There is a special passage behind the third floor, and you can go up by driving the carriage, and it is said that it is for extremely distinguished guests," Du Ruhui said with his hands spread out.

When I returned to the first floor, I found that Yu Chi Laohei and a group of people had already drunk, and there were still people in the ring in the middle who performed the horn again, which caused this group of generals to applaud loudly from time to time. When I got into the table, I found the benefits of this table, more than a dozen people sat around a large round table, and the disc that could be turned in the middle could be turned in front of ...... dish.

When it was time to get up, the wine and food came out of the building, and everyone had a small bronze medal the size of a palm in their hands, saying that they would come here to eat again in the future, and the bronze medal wine and food were discounted.

Fang Xuanling helped her husband into the carriage, but found that there were two more cages in the carriage. Before he could ask, Lu Shi said excitedly: "Master, this Yuguo Duke invites us to a banquet because he really knows how to pick a place, and after entering, the two small halls are dedicated to female guests, and the names are good, one is called 'Yao Chi' and the other is called 'Zhehua'." Even the women who serve the plates are women. The food here is not only delicious, but also the singing and dancing, and we have not been so happy in a long time. After dinner, we went to the 'Orihua Building', which was full of things for women, this mask was for beauty, this dress was made of silk from the south, and this earrings ........".

Lu Shi couldn't stop talking happily, and when she stopped talking, Fang Xuanling asked, "Madam, how much did these things cost?" ”

When he heard that his husband quoted a price of three hundred yuan, Fang Xuanling was silent.

The Lu family also sensed his strangeness, so he pulled his arm and said: "Master, our family can afford to spend three hundred yuan, the concubine body is bought less, and the eldest lady of Li Daozong and Cheng Yanjin's wife have spent more than a thousand yuan, and the concubine body is indeed happy today."

Fang Xuanling patted Lu's hand and said: "It's not that my husband feels sorry for the three hundred yuan, I found that Xiao Zheng, this kid is simply a profiteer among profiteers."

"People kindly invited you to the banquet, why are you still scolding Yuguogong, and besides, what does this restaurant have to do with Yuguogong."

"What does it matter? Hehe", Fang Xuanling whispered a few words to Lu Shi in a low voice.

I only heard Lu Shi exclaim in a low voice, and quickly covered his mouth, and waited for a while before saying: "The queen mother came several times after the construction of this place I said, I thought that the queen mother was just simply concerned about the world, but I didn't expect that there was such a reason."

"What's more," Fang Xuanling whispered a few words to Lu this time with some pride.

"Master, you mean that there are also our ...... in this restaurant," Lu asked in surprise.

"Silence, Madame just knows."

Sitting in the carriage, Fang Xuanling closed his eyes and began to calculate, today there are no less than fifty or sixty powerful people in the court, and each lady is calculated according to the Lu family's expenses, not counting the money for the operation of the restaurant, these women have spent at least 20,000 yuan!

Seeing that these officials ate Xiao Zheng's meal for nothing, the money spent by his wife could be exchanged for more than ten meals in other places.

When he was about to arrive at the mansion gate, Fang Xuanling said to his wife: "In the future, our family will be fine, try not to go to Yingzhou Pavilion to eat and buy things."

"Master, you are too careful, besides, the things sold by others are the only ones in Chang'an, there are no other places, and it is not okay if you don't go, it's a big deal to let others go, and you must take care of your own business" The old house was directly ignored by the Lu family.
