Chapter 149: Pavilion Elder Concubines (1) (3rd Update)
Gong Yonggu, the commander of the horses, is indeed a very sociable person, although Chen Letou is just a craftsman, but these days, the two get along more and more well. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Gong Yonggu even went to the door in person many times to ask Chen Letou for advice, and sometimes invited him to his mansion to set up banquets and entertain him, and even called Chen Hanlin one by one, without the slightest arrogance of being a relative of the emperor.
And Chen Letou also has more and more respect for this horse master, although he likes to talk big, but in Chen Letou's opinion, if this horse master is not because he married the royal daughter, he can also take the top prize.
The reason is naturally that this horse Gong Yonggu really knows a lot, the customs and customs of the south and the north and the various relationships inside and outside the court, this guy is clear, and even the Tartars outside the Guan, the Oriental Wokou, the Western Fan of the South Seas, and the Kunlun slaves from Lilaia, this Horse Duwei also knows everything, and naturally the Four Books and Five Classics, Tang poems and Song words are not a problem.
Therefore, this Chen Leper also sincerely admires this Captain of the Horse, the key is that people don't take it big.
Therefore, Chen Letou finally did not refuse Gong Yonggu's arrangement, and was ready to take Fan Kuan's "Journey to the Mountains and Streams" of the Song Dynasty and other gifts and a silver mirror with diamond flowers to participate in the happy event of Wei Ge's concubine.
However, before participating in the happy event of Wei Ge's concubine, Chen Litou couldn't help but express his doubts to his friend Gong Yonggu, the commander of the horses.
"I said Master Horse, I have a question, but I also ask you, since you are familiar with the present Bogu, it is estimated that you can help me, that day Your Majesty told me before summoning you, to send it to the next great wealth, but I still don't understand, where is the great wealth that Your Majesty said, when the old man Li improved the Apocalypse style, he really got a thousand taels of silver and a set of mansions, but what about me, there is nothing, only a black gauze hat from the fifth grade."
Chen Leper pointed to the black yarn on his head a little helplessly, and Gong Yonggu, the commander of the horses, laughed directly, shook his head at Chen Leprosy and said: "What the hell are you a fool, didn't Your Majesty say that day that you will only have half of the share less than me, don't underestimate this less than half of the share, that is also twenty-one, once this business is big, waiting for the annual income of millions, you Chen Dahanlin will sit at home every year, and you can also collect hundreds of thousands of taels, this is not only a great wealth, it is simply a rich country!" When I saw that you were a depressed widow at the time, I didn't thank you and thought you were pretentious, but who knew that you didn't know what was going on. ”
Seeing that Gong Yonggu, the commander of the horses, said such an exaggerated statement, and knew that he had started talking crazy again, he was full of disbelief: "Then it depends on whether you can use the remaining five thousand taels to make millions of deals." ”
"You just wait and see, keep the money you can earn from tonight that you can't earn in your life", Gong Yonggu said and entered the sedan chair first: "The contemptible person has taken a step first, but Wei Ge Lao specially invited this horse to be the master of ceremonies." ”
"Hey, Master Horse, you won't really let me give a gift to that Wei Ge Lao alone, I can't be on the stage as a little five-rank official!"
Chen Leper shouted, and seeing that Gong Yonggu did not respond, he had to bite the bullet and get into his carriage: "Go to the old mansion of Wei Ge!" ”
……
The late Ming Dynasty was flashy and extravagant, and the scholars were especially so, as the so-called Zhumen wine and meat stinky road had frozen bones, this phenomenon was not new in the last days of the dynasty.
Moreover, among the scholars and doctors, the phenomenon of the daughter of the old Confucian cardamom as a concubine is especially common.
Shangzhu Guo, the crown prince and the scholar of Jianji Palace, Wei Guangwei is now considered to be a young man, and it is not uncommon to marry a twenty-eight lady, but since he is the first assistant, he has suffered a lot of criticism, so it is inevitable that the imperial history will take advantage of this matter to participate in the impeachment.
However, because of this, Wei Guangwei, the first assistant of the cabinet, did not dare to do this with great fanfare, after all, this is not a continuation of the concubine, and it is not a big deal.
But at this time, His Majesty came to the decree, and if he wanted to do a special job, he had to put the posture of the first assistant out, and His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youxiao had to come in person.
Wei Guangwei didn't know why His Majesty Zhu Youxiao made such a will, and it was difficult to guess why His Majesty wanted to congratulate him in person because of such a trivial matter as taking a concubine.
But Wei Guangwei had to act according to the order, all the officials above the seventh grade in Beijing, as well as all kinds of leaders and wealthy businessmen, he made posts, and even personally invited the chefs of the major restaurants in the capital to the mansion to be ready to serve countless dignitaries and nobles at any time.
Wei Guangwei even felt that this was an opportunity to take advantage of this matter to get closer to His Majesty, since Wei Zhongxian went to the south, his chances of showing his face in front of His Majesty were not as high as Qian Qianyi, and Wei Guangwei also felt more and more the threat brought by Qian Qianyi to himself, so in order to keep his official position, he had to seize this opportunity.
Wei Guangwei is the first assistant of the cabinet and the head of the civil ministers, even if he doesn't invite him, there is naturally an endless stream of people who come to celebrate.
Therefore, the night has just fallen, and countless dignitaries and dignitaries of the capital have already rushed over.
……
Although Zhu Youxiao wanted to go to Wei Guangwei's place to have a look, he didn't mean to go to Wei Guangwei's house for dinner.
After having some light meals with Empress Zhang Yan and Yao Xuan, and teaching Xiao Liu Ru some articles, he left Kunning Palace.
Wang Chengen hurriedly came over with an umbrella and held it on Zhu Youxiao's head, it was snowing the day before yesterday, but today it began to rain lightly, and now the weather in Daming can only be described by the word weird.
And Xu Fo, who was waiting outside the house, also followed, and the three of them were led by Zhu Youxiao, Wang Chengen and Xu Fo accompanied them out of the inner court.
"You can come up too", when it was time to get into the carriage, Zhu Youxiao commanded Xu Fo and stretched out his hand like a gentleman.
Xu Fo responded with a "yes", grabbed Zhu Youxiao's hand and got into the carriage, and Wang Chengen was about to follow, but Zhu Youxiao laughed and shouted: "You go down, an old eunuch, come up and join in the fun!" ”
"Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen couldn't help replying casually, and had to obediently follow the carriage, while Xu Fo couldn't help but laugh.
This is a dignified celebrant palm print, but in front of His Majesty, he is just a eunuch who serves people, and he is no different, in front of the Ninety-Five, he is just an ant.
"What are you doing in a daze, serving tea!"
Zhu Youxiao's voice pulled Xu Fo's thoughts back, and she hurriedly answered and immediately went to get the tea.
"Grind ink!"
Here, Xu Fo had just made tea, Zhu Youxiao was about to take a pen to write, and Xu Fo had to be busy getting the ancient ink he had brought in advance.
"Beat your legs!"
Xu Fo glanced at Zhu Youxiao, and didn't say anything, so he squatted down and beat Zhu Youxiao in a proper manner.
Zhu Youxiao saw that she was obedient, and he was embarrassed to deliberately tease her again, so he deliberately said: "Okay, let's sit on the side, I can't beat my legs well, and I don't have strength to be soft." ”
Xu Fo had to stand aside.
"I asked you to sit, do you want to resist the decree!" Zhu Youxiao saw that she didn't sit down, so he drank again.
"Yes!" Xu Fo sat on the side, and the fire in the brazier was burning vigorously at this time, which suddenly made her feel a warmth into her somewhat cold body. (To be continued.) )
