Jinglan went out from the back door of the General's Mansion, because the housekeeper said that there were too many people who came to the front door to ask for a meeting, and there were even people who knew each other and stood at the door directly to chat, and they didn't know when they would talk before they would go back.

So I had to go out through the back door, and outside the back door was a cold alley, and Jinglan rode straight to the palace.

Yin Mu was reviewing the folds in the imperial study at this time, and when he heard the waiter say that Jinglan was coming, he put down the Zihao in his hand and immediately got up and went out to greet him in person.

"Jinglan, you're here." Yin Mu went over and helped Jing Lan away, and pulled him and said, "Come in, I really have a good relationship with you, I originally planned to go to your house to see you later today, but I didn't expect you to come first." Quick, give a seat. ”

The chamberlain immediately brought a chair and put it behind Jing Lan, Jing Lan didn't like those cumbersome etiquette the most, so after sitting down, he even saved the greetings, and said directly: "Your Majesty, didn't you say before that you would allow the ministers to only go to court once a month in the future, and also told those ministers not to disturb the ministers?" I don't know why this morning, half of the officials in the capital went to the minister's mansion, and some even brought their own children over, does the emperor know the reason? ”

"I did tell them not to bother you within half a month of your return to Beijing, but isn't half a month already over now? You've been back for so long, even if you don't have a friendship with them, but you're all colleagues in the DPRK and China, if you don't want to make friends with them, just send them away politely. Although I don't like to see ministers form factions, I don't want to see you ostracized because you are too withdrawn. Yin Mu's eyes were gentle, looking at Jinglan like a child, and even carefully teaching others the sophistication of the people in the officialdom, which is a treatment that even the prince does not have for the time being.

Of course, there is a reason why Yin Mu treats Jinglan like this. Six years ago, Yin Mu ascended the throne shortly after his power was unstable, the capital was powerful and monstrous, there were treacherous Japanese pirates in the south, and the fierce Northern Yuan in the north. At that time, there were only two trustworthy and powerful generals in the court, one was Jing Lan's father, and the other was Yin Mu's fourth emperor brother Yin Che, so the two generals went out together, Jing Lan's father took Jing Lan to fight against the Japanese invaders, and Yin Che was stationed in northern Xinjiang. But the Japanese were really cunning and arrogant, and after General Jing Lao fell into their hands, they brutally killed General Jing Lao, and the people along the coast were also harassed by them.

At this time, Yin Mu had no one to use, and he couldn't leave the capital that had not completely started, and when he was desperate, Jing Lan, who was only twelve years old, went deep into the enemy camp alone, directly took the head of the leader of the Japanese Bandits, and avenged his father with his own hands! And his move also established his prestige in the army, Jinglan was originally supposed to inherit his father's position as a general, but now he has won the hearts of the people with his own ability, and no one in the army is dissatisfied.

Although almost all the Japanese were cleaned up two years ago, and the coast was peaceful, Jing Lan and the soldiers were still stationed at the customs for two years before Jing Lan was recalled by Yin Mu.

And during this period, Yin Mu also replaced the previous governor of Dongchang and pushed the greedy but incapable Tan and Bai to the throne, Tan and Bai's actions Yin Mu is clear, but it is such a person with obvious flaws who is easy to control, he just secretly grabbed the rope behind Tan and Bai's neck, and did not directly strangle him to death.

If there was no Jinglan, Dali didn't know what it would be like now, and he, the emperor, didn't know how long he could sit, so he would treat Jinglan as the crown prince...... Ah no, be treated as the most confidant of the humerus.

After listening to his words, Jing Lan frowned: "Isn't it okay to be a courtier, a king, and a common people?" Why do you prefer to socialize with people you don't like to be unfamiliar with? Troublesome. ”

“...... Looks like I'm going to have to find you a lady with all the best face to handle these chores for you. Yin Mu knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he had to sigh deeply, and saw that his old official uniform was really not good, and he felt that he had the need to marry a wife, "What's going on with the people in your house?" Don't you know how to take out your official uniform and make it up? Looks like I'm going to have to find a general's wife to take care of them. ”

"Emperor Xie, but the minister doesn't need this for the time being. This official uniform is still my father's, how can I have an official uniform when I was so young when I left? If the emperor dislikes the old one, I will make a new one another day. Jing Lan politely declined, and then asked, "But the minister still can't understand, even if those ministers want to befriend me, why did they go over together today?" They seem to have made an appointment, which is too coincidental! There are even many people who have their daughters with them, so what do ministers want to do with their daughters? ”

Yin Mu smiled faintly, took out a piece of something from a pile of folds, and said, "Maybe it's because of the "Harem Mansion Newspaper" that was sent out yesterday, I heard the queen say that the palace maids of the entire harem are all together to talk about you today." ”

"What does Liaochen do? What is there to talk about...... minister" Jing Lan took the newspaper over, and at a glance saw a few big characters in the most conspicuous position on the first page, and immediately read it with wide eyes, and after reading it, he asked in disbelief, "Your Majesty, is it because this article praised me, so all the women in the capital overnight think that I am really like what is said in this newspaper?" How powerful are these pages? ”

"Look, this newspaper is not exaggerating, you are." Yin Mu praised it, "Speaking of the ability of this newspaper, I was also taken aback. I remember that when I ran this newspaper the year before last, there were only two pages, and now they are so thick, and the queen is full of praise for it, it is said that many young ladies of the family bought it when they heard that the queen and the concubine loved to read it. Liu Yongxu is really good, the more he does it, the better he is, and he understands my mind so well, as soon as you return to Beijing, I posted something like this, and it must not be difficult for me to find you a family affair. ”

At this time, Jinglan also recalled An Ge, who had been rejected by him with a bad attitude before, and this article should have been written by her without accident.

She treated her so rudely that day, and she could still praise him with all the flowery rhetoric......

Is she repaying her grievances with virtue?

But the anger in her eyes when she left the General's Mansion that day did not escape his eyes...... She must have done it on purpose!

*

Yesterday's harem newspaper was almost out of stock after being sent to various bookstores, Liu Yongxu quietly went to the street corner to investigate, and found that the only bookseller who has goods in his hand now has actually increased the price tenfold! Liu Yongxu was angry at this behavior of profiting from their mansion newspaper, and on the other hand, she couldn't hold back her pride, and at this time, their mansion newspaper could be regarded as completely famous in the capital.

After returning to the Di Bao Mansion, Liu Yongxu wanted to talk to them about the situation in the book market, but she didn't expect to see many of them talking and laughing together, so she asked curiously, "What's wrong?" What are you doing? ”

Zhang Lianfeng turned around and said: "The queen mother sent a reward again, before Lord Liu said that if there is a reward in the palace, it will be directly distributed to everyone, and we are sharing it." As he spoke, he glanced at An Ge again and said with a smile, "The little father-in-law who gave the reward today specially passed on the words of the queen's mother, saying that An Ge's article about General Jinglan was good, and even the emperor praised it when he read it." ”

An Ge hurriedly waved his hand and said humbly: "That's also General Jinglan's good, I'm just writing it truthfully." ”

"Mischievous ......" Guo Caiping, who had already taken the reward and retreated to the side, glared at An Ge and muttered to herself.

She saw that those people were all around An Ge to compliment her, and even Liang Zifeng, who had always been unaccustomed to An Ge before, now began to be grateful to An Ge because his article was seen by many people, and she was even more irritable in her heart.

Guo Caiping pinched the silver taels in her hand, and suddenly thought of an idea with a roll of her eyes, so she also squeezed it up and said to An Ge: "An Ge, you haven't been in the Dibao Mansion for a long time, and you are still a newcomer to the Dibao Mansion, but you have been in the limelight in front of the queen, the prince and Lord Tan, congratulations to you." Although we old people don't have the ability to do it, but we are really happy for you in our hearts, do you want to set up a table to invite everyone to have a meal and celebrate? ”

An Ge is not a stingy person, he used to pay more attention to money because he was poor and had no way to live, but now he got the rewards from the palace in three days, and from time to time he would get gifts from booksellers, and he had some surplus in his hands, and it should be affordable to invite everyone in the mansion to eat. Besides, having a meal is a relatively low-cost way to build a good relationship with colleagues, so he didn't refuse, and nodded: "Then how about tonight?" Pingle, I'm not familiar with the restaurants nearby, so you can help me pick one. ”

Liu Pingle's eyes lit up, and he was about to speak, Guo Caiping wiped his words: "If it is a restaurant in the capital, it should be the Taiping Building on the side of the West Fourth Archway, quiet and elegant, which is the most suitable for us." ”

Liu Pingle raised his eyebrows and said: "Taipinglou is indeed elegant, but the price of food is not cheap, I have eaten a few times, and I have to eat about three taels of silver alone." ”

Three taels of silver is indeed not cheap, and An Ge's current salary is three taels of silver a month, but this month, he has received more rewards, and eight people are counted according to twenty-four taels...... Well, although it is a little more expensive, it can still afford it, and the reward I received from the queen today is already ten taels, and it should be okay to add the previous one.

Besides, many people here are kind to her, Liu Pingle, Zhang Lianfeng and Yu Yuanyuan are all very kind to her, Liu Yongxu also appreciates her very much, even Liang Zifeng and Yi Yinfeng, who have always been lukewarm to her, although they don't talk to her much on weekdays, but when it comes to what are the typos and sentences in the article, what is better to say, they are not stingy to give advice, and she can get better and better.

Therefore, she also wants to treat everyone to a good meal as a reward.

An Ge shook his head at Liu Pingle and said, "It's okay, I can still afford to pay for this money, if that house is really good, then let's go over there." ”

In fact, the money is not too expensive for Liu Pingle, she just said that just now when she was thinking about An Ge, now that An Ge didn't frown, she didn't worry anymore, and nodded: "The taste is indeed good." ”

"Haha, okay, Ange, we're going to have a good meal for you today." Liu Yongxu smiled, "Everyone, then let's go now." ”

Note: This article is empty, and some of the institutions and monetary values in it refer to the Ming Dynasty, when one or two pieces of silver were about 600 yuan in 2019, and An Ge's monthly salary was about 1800 yuan. I don't know if there were any restaurants with one or two thousand per capita in ancient times, but a few days ago I saw a New Year's Eve dinner held by a famous roast duck restaurant in Beijing for 3,888 yuan per person......
