Chapter Forty-Nine: The Minister
Along the way, Huang Fuxue turned her head to look at An Mingchen from time to time, she didn't notice it before, but now she found out carefully that there was her in his eyes, remembering what he said to him before, Huang Fuxue couldn't help laughing.
"What is a person giggling at?" An Mingchen saw her smile and asked out loud.
Being seen doing bad things, Huangfu Xue was a little flustered subconsciously, but soon returned to normal, "I didn't laugh at anything, I just didn't expect you to pick me up today." β
"It's not a matter of course for the husband to take the lady home. Why, the lady is very moved? An Mingchen leaned closer and said with a teasing smile. Huang Fuxue felt that he must have missed something just now, the person just now was definitely not him, and now this sharp-toothed person is his true face.
"It's not early, Daddy is still waiting for us to eat, let's go back quickly."
Originally, he forgot what his father said in the morning, and stimulated her to An Mingchen, An Mingchen saw that she was walking faster and faster, and hurriedly followed her pace and returned to Huangfu's house, Huangfu Xue's clothes were not wet at all, An Mingchen had been protecting him, and his back was wet for most of the time. Seeing this, Huangfu Xue was happy and worried.
"How can you be so careless, you can still do it like this with an umbrella. "His mouth was full of disgust, but taking advantage of An Mingchen's inattention, he quickly stepped forward and kissed her on the face.
An Mingchen didn't expect him to take the initiative to kiss her, and after being slightly stunned, he stepped forward with a smile, "The lady is so active, she is very happy for her husband, why don't you kiss her husband again?" β
"Don't make a fuss, Daddy is still waiting for us to eat." Huangfu Xue pushed him away and went to the outer room with a red face. An Mingchen looked at her embarrassed back and smiled unkindly. This girl still thinks how bold she is, it turns out to be a paper tiger.
After changing their clothes, the two of them went to the front yard together, at this time all the people were brought together, the maid was serving the food, Huangfu Yue saw her coming, and sneered dissatisfiedly, "The second sister's shelf is really getting bigger and bigger, and now even my father has to wait for you husband and wife in person?" β
Huangfu Xue seemed to have liked his yin and yang weirdness, walked to the table and sat down, and then explained to Huangfu Zhengxiong, | Daddy, I stayed in the restaurant all day today, and after reading the account book, I realized that it was so late, Daddy had been waiting for a long time,"
"It's okay, it's okay to eat early and late, you must have a snack in the shop, I heard the steward say that the business of the restaurant is very good now, sometimes I want to come in to eat and queue up, but there is such a thing."
"Yes, I have also thought of some ways for this, but the overall layout of the restaurant has been planned, and it is not easy to make changes on this basis." Huang Fuxue has also thought about this problem in the past two days, but every time she has returned in vain. Listening to Huangfu Masao, he talked about his confusion.
Huangfu Zhengxiong laughed twice when he heard this, "What is the big deal for the old man, the restaurant business is too good, what is there to worry about, we can buy the shop next to it and expand the restaurant, or simply open another restaurant, and then worry that the guests have no place to do?" β
"What Daddy said is that ginger is still old and spicy, why didn't my daughter think of it. And the daughter will consult with the steward tomorrow at this time. β
"Okay, you can do the things in the restaurant, if you don't understand anything, come to Daddy."
Huang Fuyue didn't expect her words to make her father dissatisfied with the second sister, the second sister said so many words casually, but she was really angry and depressed when she got a compliment from her father. As soon as he entered the door, he began to lose his temper, Wu Hu was too lazy to take care of him, and went to the West Courtyard while he was not paying attention.
An Mingchen was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea, Wu Hu saw him striding forward, "Mingchen, you are still so comfortable, you tell me why you are all born with the same father, why your temperament can be so different." β
Huang Fuyue's temperament is known to everyone in the whole mansion, and An Mingchen naturally knows it, but Wu Hu is not a good person, they are half a catty and eight taels, An Mingchen doesn't want to get involved in the matter between them at all, so he laughs silently. Wu Hu was just complaining, but when he saw that he was silent, he changed the topic.
"Xie Wuyi has begun to suspect the thief, although he caught a Master Zhang yesterday, but I feel that Xie Wuyi is not completely convinced. So I'm afraid I won't be able to bring you any more news during this time. β
"It doesn't matter, the matter that affects the floods in Jiangnan has been decided, even if Xie Wuyi makes any moves, this period of time will not be too frequent." An Mingchen seemed to have expected this, his face was calm, Wu Hu saw this, sat here for a while and left. Not long after she left, Huang Fuxue walked in.
"I saw my eldest brother-in-law leave here just now, did he come to look for you?"
"Not bad." After An Mingchen finished speaking, he looked up, "Didn't you say that you were tired, why did you run out without resting, it just rained and it was a little cold outside, you are not in good health, be careful of the wind and cold." β
"How can I be as delicate as you say, I can't sleep just after eating, and I want to go out for a walk." Huang Fuxue walked to the side and sat down, "By the way, I thought about what my father said today and think it is very feasible, so I will start the branch in the next few days, how is it on your side?" β
"There should be eyebrows tomorrow, it's just that Xie Wuji has suffered such a big loss, and tomorrow I'm afraid that he will bite someone to death......" He was worried that the person Xie Wuji was targeting would be him, but in a blink of an eye, above the main hall, everyone was watching, and she was powerless even if she was afraid of what she did.
The night is getting thicker, the two went back to the house, the next day, Huangfu Xue rarely got up early in the morning, and after cleaning up, he took Caiyu to the restaurant, An Mingchen took a carriage to the palace, and above the early dynasty, the emperor once again proposed the candidate of Lord Qincha, this time Xie Wuji suddenly changed his normal state and did not mention the people of the old party, but praised An Mingchen in front of everyone, An Mingchen secretly shouted that it was not good, but after a while, he heard Xie Wuyi say, "Weichen thought that this time he went to Jiangnan to escort grain and grass, and thoroughly investigated the corruption case in Jiangnan, except for Lord An, There is no second choice. β
"Oh, why did Xie Aiqing say that?" The emperor originally planned to let An Mingchen go, but his plan was one thing, and the old party's proposal was another, the emperor couldn't understand what kind of medicine they were selling in the gourd, and was worried about what conspiracy they had behind it......
The emperor was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do, so he looked up at An Mingchen, "What does An Aiqing think?" β
An Mingchen had thought of this possibility last night, so when Xie Wuyi bit her and didn't let go, he had always been calm except for some emotions at the beginning.
"Back to the emperor, it is the duty of Weichen to serve the court, Lord Xie attaches so much importance to the lower officials, and it is also the blessing of the lower officials, the lower officials have nothing else to think about, everything is up to the emperor."
Xie Wuyi smiled proudly when he heard this, "Since the emperor also has this intention, this matter will be handled by Lord An." Weichen believes that An Daren will be able to return a piece of paradise to the south of the Yangtze River. β
After Xie Wuyi finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at the minister next to him, and the old party faction hurriedly echoed when he saw this, "Weichen thinks that what Lord Xie said is extremely true, Lord An is very intelligent, and he has deep trust from the emperor, so it is appropriate to choose him as the minister of the Qin Mission this time." One stood up and agreed, and the rest of the people stepped forward one after another to express their attitude, the emperor's face was a little not very good when he saw this, but, looking at it, this trip to Jiangnan, except for An Mingchen, he really didn't worry about anyone.
After thinking about it, the emperor still responded to this time, after the early dynasty, the emperor was still a little uneasy, and specially asked Li Fuxi to call An Mingchen to the imperial study.
"Weichen participates in the emperor."
"Get up, why did I call you alone?" The emperor rubbed his sore forehead and sighed slightly,
An Mingchen's eyes flashed slightly, and after a while, he said, "Weichen is stupid, please ask the emperor to make it clear." β
"You, now that the entire imperial study is only me and you, there is no need to be so cautious." Although the emperor's face was full of disgust, the smile in his eyes betrayed her mood at this time, "Do you know why Xie Wuyi tried his best to recommend you to Jiangnan?" β
"I don't know." An Mingchen really doesn't know, but if you guess carefully, you can guess eight or nine. It's just that speculation is speculation after all, and he doesn't like to talk nonsense about things without evidence.
The emperor's face has long been like this, "I am also very puzzled, you must be cautious on this trip to Jiangnan, I will also send you more masters to accompany you, I am indeed worried about the people of Jiangnan, but I am also worried about your safety, if there is anything ......"
"Please rest assured, since Wechen has become this minister, Wechen will definitely do his best to deal with the affairs of Jiangnan, and at the same time arrest the person who embezzled the case."
"Okay, well, I didn't mistake you. Mingchen, I still say the same thing, you are the person I trust the most, don't risk yourself unless you have to. β
"Yes, Weichen must remember the emperor's advice." An Mingchen knelt down to thank the Holy Grace, after leaving the palace, An Mingchen did not go back to the house and went directly to the restaurant, near noon, the restaurant gradually increased the number of people, An Mingchen did not see Huangfu Xue in the lobby and went upstairs.
Huang Fuxue was still looking at the account book, with a serious face, and she didn't even notice that someone came in.
"Haven't finished reading it yet?" An Mingchen stepped forward and took the ledger in his hand, "I've been reading it for so long, let's take a rest first." Be careful to wear out your eyes. β
"Why are you here, is there nothing going on in the court today?" It was rare for Huangfu Xue to see her go home so early, she smiled and gave herself a cup, and was about to get it to her mouth, but she was robbed of An Mingchen's money, and she saw him drink all the tea in the teacup, and suddenly looked helpless.
"What an old person, how can he be as naΓ―ve as a child."
