Feng Jiangting and Kou Zidun spent the whole afternoon in the annex of the political envoy, chatting with Qian Mutong.

They didn't go to talk about Fu Yuan, but talked about all kinds of news from the capital. What is the mother of the saint who went to the capital, and when she was halfway there, she heard that the cabinet did not agree to her as the queen mother, so she didn't go to the capital. In the end, the saint threatened to return to Anlu to continue as king, and the cabinet and court ministers reluctantly agreed to her as the queen mother.

What Zhang Xuan, this old boy, is simply beyond his strength, and dares to be an enemy of Yang Tinghe. Now it's okay, being driven to Nanjing to retire, this life is over.

What is still a great cause of the family, just like Guo Xun, a child of a famous family, became a Taibao without much effort, and he is simply envious of others. It's like them, one by one they have been promoted so hard. This is called reading well, not as good as reincarnation!

The three of them were talking speculatively, and they felt that time had passed quickly, and before they could finish speaking, the sky had darkened slightly.

Qian Mutong got up and said, "It's almost time, it's time to make an appointment!" ”

Only then did the three of them get up. Qian Mutong went to the house to change his regular clothes, and Feng Jiangting and Kou Zidun got into their own carriage to change their regular clothes. After a while, the three of them changed their clothes, met in the courtyard, and left the annex of the political embassy together, followed by a dozen or so entourages.

Cui Yipeng had been waiting not far away, and when he saw the three of them coming out, he was heading in the direction of Tianxianglou, so he completely dispelled the doubts in his heart. He pretended to meet by chance, chased after him from behind, arched his hand, and said, "Xiaguan Cui Yipeng, please say hello to the three adults!" ”

Qian Mutong is greedy for power but doesn't love money, and when he saw a corrupt person like Cui Yipeng, his brows couldn't help but tighten. But Cui Yipeng greeted him, he couldn't turn a blind eye, nodded, "oh", and continued to walk forward!

Cui Yipeng scolded secretly: "Old boy, you are about to be unlucky, what kind of shelf are you putting up!" He followed two steps, keeping up with Qian Mutong's pace, and said, "Where are the three adults going?" ”

Qian Mutong saw that Cui Yipeng was following closely, and wanted to quickly shake off this dog skin plaster, and said, "Lord Governor invited the three of us to dinner, if Lord Cui is fine, let's go together!" ”

The words were extremely polite, and at first glance it seemed to be an invitation, but it was actually asking Cui Yipeng to hurry aside. People with a little bit of eye know what the status of Qian Mutong, Feng Jiangting, Kou Zidun and Fu An is, what is their status, and how can they eat together, doesn't that make the four adults bored?

Who knew that Cui Yipeng smiled and said, "What a coincidence, the lower official also received an invitation from the governor, let's just do it together!" ”

Qian Mutong's three walking steps suddenly stagnated. Fu Yuan: What does this mean? Could it be that they knew that they were going to clean up Cui Yipeng after Fu Yuan left Henan, so they deliberately arranged Cui Yipeng to disgust them? This is really a feast, and it seems that today's meal is going to be extremely depressing!

Cui Yipeng was still chattering there, and the three of them were annoyed to listen.

Kou Zidun looked up at a brightly lit high-rise building not far away, and with a "huh", he interrupted Cui Yipeng's rambling and said, "What kind of place is that?" ”

Qian Mutong and Feng Jiangting also looked up, and were immediately shocked by the scenery in front of them. Hundreds of paces away, a majestic high-rise building stood impressively.

They've never seen anything this high! The Lingxiao Treasure Hall where the Jade Emperor lives in the sky is estimated to be so high and magnificent, and what is even more surprising is that the rooms upstairs and downstairs are lit up. There seems to be no curtains on the windows of that floor, and you can see the furnishings in the room.

Cui Yipeng said: "That's where we are going, Tianxianglou!" ”

Kou Zidun's face couldn't help but turn red. Zhao Xuefei said that Tianxianglou is the only one in the entire Ming Dynasty, and he also said that Zhao Xuefei was bragging. Even if Tianxianglou really has six floors, it must be like the iron tower in Kaifeng, covering a very small area. Who knows that Tianxiang Building will be so huge, how is this building built, through the window you can see that there seem to be no beams and no columns inside, so how to build the ground on each floor?

He has a stubborn temper that does not admit his mistakes, and he must not be shocked by Tianxianglou, and deliberately degraded: "What's the use of high? Everywhere is transparent, eat and sleep inside, and don't freeze people to death! ”

In the afternoon, Cui Yipeng went to the front of Tianxiang Building and said: "The building is not transparent from all sides, and every room is equipped with windows. ”

Kou Zidun said: "There are windows, why don't you see window paper." ”

Cui Yipeng said: "There is glass on the windows!" He explained, "Glass is like crystal, transparent and colorless, and from a distance, it looks as if there are no windows!" ”

After speaking, he began to chatter again, and said: "Tianxianglou is really an eye-opening place, if I am not an official in the future, I will buy Tianxianglou for retirement!" ”

Feng Jiangting said: "In such a magnificent building, the windows are filled with glass like crystal, I'm afraid it's not cheap!" ”

Cui Yipeng nodded and said, "I heard that it cost more than one million taels of silver to build this building!" ”

Feng Jiangting seemed to have an understanding, and said: "It seems that Master Cui has made a lot of money over the years, and he can take out more than one million taels of silver!" ”

Cui Yipeng's face immediately darkened, and he scolded in a low voice: "Fucking dug a pit again and let me jump in!" "But he didn't get angry, anyway, from tonight onwards, Qian Mutong will be unlucky, Feng Jiangting and Kou Zidun will also be unlucky, and he leans on the big tree of the governor, and from then on, he will be on the rise, so why bother to be like a person who is going to be unlucky.

He smiled and said, "I'm just telling a joke, why is Lord Feng still serious?" ”

At this time, the three of them were not far from Tianxiang Building, and they could see Zhao Xuefei standing at the door smiling and greeting the guests who were going to Tianxiang Building. Kou Zidun scolded in a low voice: "Did you see my shocked expression, that's why you're so happy!" ”

In fact, he completely misunderstood Zhao Xuefei. Zhao Xuefei was happy, because as soon as the big and small officials came, why there were many officials guarding the door of Tianxiang Mansion could be explained.

Why are you guarding the servants? What else could it be? Of course, it is to protect the officials who eat from being beaten! The "rumors" that Tianxianglou died are self-defeating!

Zhao Xuefei let a group of guests inside, looked up and saw Qian Mutong and his party of four, hurriedly greeted them, and after saying hello, he led the four of them to Tianxiang Building!

Kou Zidun looked sideways, and saw that the window was filled with the same glass as crystal, and he wanted to get closer to see what the glass was like and how it was different from crystal. However, Zhao Xuefei was right in front of him, and he was afraid that Zhao Xuefei would underestimate him in his heart, so he had to suppress the curiosity in his heart and follow in.

There were still a few junior officials in the passage who had not gone to their private room, and when they saw the three elders of Qian Mutong coming, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute. The timid one slipped away quietly after the salute, while the bold one stepped forward to talk a few words, saying something like, "Your Excellency is also here for dinner?" Something like that.

Zhao Xuefei introduced: "The entourage of the adults is eating in the hall on the left. The officials below the fifth rank ate in the private room on the right-hand side. The fifth rank goes up, the third rank goes down to eat on the sixth floor, and the third rank goes up to eat in the backyard. ”

Feng Jiangting asked, "What are the second to fifth floors for?" ”

Zhao Xuefei said: "The second floor to the fifth floor are arranged for officials from the third grade down to live at night, and they can live in houses of different specifications according to different grades?" ”

Feng Jiangting said: "Houses of different specifications? Why? ”

Zhao Xuefei said: "Some have only bedrooms and no living room, some have one bedroom and one living room, and some have a living room, a master bedroom and a servant bedroom. ”
