On the same day that Yan Hong was preparing for his birthday with a clever plan, the discussion around Mrs. Ouyang's birthday was also being discussed in several other places.

In the Yan Mansion, in the courtyard where the Qingyun class temporarily lives, several leaders are secretly discussing.

"Brothers, the news from Rou Niang is that the servants of the Yan Mansion have transported our poles back to the inn. It was Yan Hu who personally led the team to escort it. "Hong Lao Avenue.

"So, we haven't leaked anything." Bearded man.

Several other people also showed a look of relief. After all, what I feared most didn't happen, and anyone would be relieved.

Boss Hong muttered: "Yan Mansion is scheming, whether he didn't find out, or pretended to be undoubted, we don't know what to do." Now that we've come to this point, it's useless for us to think about it. Let's hope they don't know. I hope that Governor Zeng and all the loyal ministers and righteous men will be blessed by the spirit of heaven, this sword thief, for the country hoe traitor! ”

Dongcheng Taishan Hutong, the residence of the cabinet secondary, the prince and the prince, the young guard, and the Wenyuan Pavilion scholar Xu Jie.

In the study, Xu Jie was discussing with a tall young official.

"Uncle, this time you came back from Jiangling sick leave, and you traveled along the way, and there was a lot of hard work."

"Thank you for your compliment. Ju Zheng has been away from Beijing for three years, and he still lives in the countryside, watching the livelihood of Li people, reading general history articles, and is quite touching. Ask your teacher for advice one by one. ”

Xu Jie smiled: "Your insight was originally not under me. Those who owe it, experience the ear. Speaking of which, at the beginning of the year, Yan Hong, the eldest grandson of Yan Weizhong, the elder of Yan Ge, stepped on a horse and almost died, do you know? ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "After Juzheng returned to Beijing, I heard about it a little. I heard that this Yan Hongping misbehaved, did not read poetry and books, blindly monopolized the market, and took advantage of the robbery, so that the merchants and traders in the capital had many complaints behind their backs, and gave him the nickname 'Little Yama'. ”

Xu Jiedao: "Yes." The day before yesterday, Zou Yinglong, a new science and technology practitioner, was in my place, and when he talked about this matter, he was very happy, thinking that this was God's punishment for the villain, and punished him for falling off his horse and suffering; But he hated that the heavens could not punish him, and he actually asked Yan Hong to recover from his injuries and return to his soul. What does Uncle think about this? ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "Zou Yunqing is jealous and hateful, this is an upright word. However, the clarity of my Ming dynasty relies on human integrity, but it is not the so-called providential punishment. If Yan Hong is really a villain, he will use thunderbolt means to investigate his crimes one by one, and then punish him according to the law. Now that he accidentally fell from his horse, he had nothing to do with loyalty and adultery, so he gloated, and he really lost a little bearing. ”

Xu Jie rubbed his fingers lightly: "Uncle, you have made progress again when you return to Beijing this time." Speaking of which, Mrs. Ouyang, the wife of Yan Ge, has a birthday in the near future. Is Uncle going to the feast? ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "Yan Ge is always the leader of the court, and when Juzheng entered the Hanlin Academy, he took a lot of care of me. Mrs. Ouyang has always treated me very well. is affectionate and reasonable, and they are all going to congratulate each other. ”

Xu Jie nodded and said, "That's also in line with etiquette." I've been feeling unwell lately, so I'm not going. Let's bring a gift when you go back. Please do a perfunctory thing for me. ”

Zhang Juzheng said: "Don't worry. ”

[Author's note: According to historical facts, Zhang Juzheng returned to Beijing from Jiangling on sick leave in the 36th year of Jiajing.] This book is a novelist's words, a year in advance. There are many such things that are not completely consistent with historical data, and the author will not list them one by one. Book friends may wish to think of it as the space-time distortion effect caused by Yan Donglai's travel, or a small difference in the parallel world, hiahia (hugging your head)

As for the Yan Mansion, in the next few days, Yan Hong himself began to be very busy.

To be honest, Yan Hong would rather rest these days, on the one hand, what he has experienced recently has really made him physically and mentally exhausted, and at the same time, the departure of Rouge Tiger has also made him mentally fluctuate a lot, and he needs to adjust his spirit. Not to mention this imminent assassination.

But he couldn't pull away. The reason is his second brother Yan Hu.

The people in Yan Mansion found that after determining that the eldest young master would not get out of the capital and roll to Yuanzhou, the second young master Yan Hu's work enthusiasm plummeted, and his negative slacking mood was high. Two days later, after being called to the study by the old man Yan Shifan and not knowing what to say, although the situation of the second young master has improved, he still runs into the small cross-courtyard room more often, and has less time to do business.

The family members who knew the inside story of the Dao said that in the place that was opened up alone, there was a woman playing circus, and Bacheng and Er Shao had some heads, and it was said that this time Yan Fu called the circus team in, and it was also promoted by Er Shao.

Yan Hu's non-violent and uncooperative attitude directly led to Yan Hong's workload skyrocketing, and he had to go to chat with his grandmother and talk to his grandfather every day.

As for Lao Tzu, forget it, it's better for everyone to see each other out of sight.

The days went by in this hectic way. Sometimes Yan Hong will also think about it in his spare time, how is the Rouge Tiger in Shandong? And back in the inner house, Hu Wanniang's indifferent face, or Shen'er's thoughtfulness, also made him quite entangled.

Finally, it was the day of Ouyang's birthday.

On this day, Yan Song's mansion at the entrance of the vegetable market was full of lights and beaming. From the main hall to the courtyard, the tables and chairs are lined up, all of which are sandalwood boutiques, and the tea bowls and melon seeds on the table are also high-grade official magnets. The four walls are hung with auspicious pictures such as the blessing of heavenly officials, the eight immortals offering peaches, and the five sons worshipping their birthdays, which are also handwritten by famous artists.

The décor is top-notch, and the visitors are also invaluable. When Emperor Jiajing favored Yan Song the most, he naturally sent eunuchs to present a reward, which can also be seen from the old saints of Yan Ge.

As for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, they came to congratulate one after another, and they were really crowned like clouds, and they were all together.

In the literary class, the scholars of Wuyingdian University and the third assistant of the cabinet Lu Tai were the leaders. That Lu Tai is more than half a hundred years old, medium build, big ears, and a loyal face. His status in the Ming Dynasty was second only to the first assistant Yan Song and the second assistant Xu Jie. But in the cabinet, it's just a decoration.

During the thirty-five years of Jiajing, it was the peak of Yan Song's power. Even Xu Jie, who has a large number of protégés and former officials, is obscure and does not dare to conflict with Yan Ge Lao at all. And this Sanfu Lu Tai, of course, obediently respects Yan Ge Lao as a father.

Of course, whether in terms of age or talent, Yan Song does have this capital.

Martial arts are honored, and Xu Yande, the hereditary Duke of Dingguo and the Governor of the Chinese Army, is respected. Xu Yande is a descendant of Xu Da, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. Xu Da's descendants were divided into two titles, Xu Huizu was the Duke of Wei and Xu Zengshou was the Duke of Dingguo.

Although he was a prominent lord in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty emphasized literature and light military force after the civil and engineering changes, and he, the hereditary prince and the governor of the Chinese army, of course could not shake off his majesty in front of Yan Ge Lao, and he had to be sincere. This Xu Yande is tall, his face is fair, and he is very well maintained, and he doesn't look like a general.

There is also Lu Bing, the leader of the Jinyi Guard, who is responsible for defending and is also friendly with the Yan family, how can this kind of thing not show up? His eyes were as calm as water, with a smile on his face, congratulating Yan Song and Mrs. Ouyang, or answering a few questions with Yan Shifan, he didn't talk much, but he was quite comfortable......

It's just that the Ming Dynasty has always opposed foreign officials befriending Zhongguan eunuchs, so the eunuchs in the inner court, except for those sent by Emperor Jiajing to issue decrees and rewards, no one else participated.

Otherwise, it can really be said that several major forces in the Ming Dynasty have been put together in the Yan Mansion.

In addition to these super bigwigs, ordinary officials are naturally like carp crossing the river. The six departments in Beijing, the various civil and military yamen in Jiuqing, and the high-grade officials who came to Yanfu to congratulate the birthday of the people do not know how many, and even many officials who took up positions around Beijing also came to Beijing to congratulate the old lady Ouyang on her birthday.

Yan Ge's old power leans towards the government and the opposition, and there are many party henchmen, of course, they have to come to flatter in front of the "master mother"; Generally, people who tend to be inflammatory, or want to get some benefits from the old fingers of Yan Ge, or want to get along with each other after getting acquainted, they also come one after another. It is the group of "upright" people who do not merge with Yan Song, after all, everyone is an official in the same dynasty, and Yan Song is a veteran of the court in terms of seniority and age, and he is in charge of the government, so he should also fight out of basic etiquette.

For a time, countless well-dressed beasts gathered in the Yan Mansion. Although the Yan Mansion is large, there are not many guests, and the entertainment is also divided into three, six, nine and so on. Those low-grade petty officials did not even have the qualifications to sit in the main hall, so they could only sit in the courtyard.

In the face of such a grand occasion, the Yan family is also constantly shuttling back and forth, some families carry gifts, some beautiful maids serve food and wine, and several managers dispatch back and forth, and they are very busy.

Yan Song was already seated in front of the hall at this time. He is very old, except for the three assistants Lu Tai, the Duke of Dingguo Xu Yande and the high-ranking officials and nobles of various ministries, he needs to be greeted by the old man in person, and other ordinary officials can just be greeted by Yan Shifan. Some of those who waited to sit in the courtyard were Yan Hong, Yan Hu, Yan Shaoqing and others who went to take a look at each other. Those low-grade petty officials with no real power can be greeted by Young Master Sun, who is the elder of the Yan Pavilion, and they are already full of faces.

Some officials who are familiar with the Yan Mansion every day, after saying hello and sitting down, they saw the family members in the hall, in addition to the familiar Yan Nian, the second chief Yan Xia, and Yan Fu, Yan Lu, Yan Qing and other small stewards, there is also a housekeeper who is born with eyes.

Looking at the age, he is in his thirties, less than fifty, with a thin figure, a slightly hunched back, slightly shrugged cheekbones, a thick black beard, and his facial features are upright, with a heroic spirit. Unfortunately, the eyelids are puffy and seem listless. But occasionally passing in front of the hall, under the puffy eyelids, a pair of eyes shimmered.

Although this man was dressed as a butler, he stood on the side of the pillar in front of the hall, but he was just looking through an account book in his hand. Several officials who often come and go from the Yan Mansion are very familiar with him. I only heard people call him "Mr. Three", but I don't know who it is.

And behind Yan Song, there is also a young man in his early teens waiting. This young man is dressed in green clothes, his face is like a dough, his teeth are white and his lips are red, and he looks quite handsome.

In the past, Yan Song also had a scholar by his side, but he was not as handsome as this boy. Some officials secretly thought in their hearts: Although Mo Feige is old, his majesty is still there, and he doesn't accept concubines, but he has a good male style? If this beautiful boy is a jade rabbit female, he is also a good candidate. Thinking of this, some obscene people had that unsightly idea in their stomachs.

Yan Hong was busy while taking time to look at his brother Yan Hu. I saw that Yan Hu's face was covered with a layer of charcoal ash, pursed his mouth, and he looked like he didn't hold back his stool, and he couldn't even greet the officials. He secretly felt a little pleasure in his heart: "This straw bale, I was called by my grandfather to train it so badly last night." It's no wonder that if I change me, I want to know that Lu Dao's favorite beautiful lady turned out to be trying to kill all the assassins in my family, probably with this face. ”

was thinking wildly, and suddenly heard the newspaper door shouting: "Hanlin Academy editing, Jiangling Zhang Juzheng came to congratulate his birthday!" ”
