Bai Tang smashed a lot of silver in the mulberry garden, and his flesh hurt so much that he couldn't do it. Xu San couldn't stand the way he was slamming his face all day long, so he generously took out his wife's book for him to call.

Bai Tang is also not polite, the marriage books of the two of them have been signed, what are you pretending to be high? smiled at him and said, "We'll be able to earn it back soon." ”

Xu San has no doubts about Bai Tang's ability to make money, a rare profiteer in the world!

Compared with Baitang and other merchants who quickly adapted to the new capital after settling down, the officials of the imperial court scolded their mothers for spending the cold winter around the hearth, and they all felt painful!

This damn weather, it's cold and it kills people! Old cold legs, rheumatism, and full TMD have come to the door! In the warm Nanjing, the moisturized face even had frostbite! Blue and purple, as if someone had fought a fight, there is no image at all!

There are also eating habits, the pasta in the north is not delicious, but compared with the food with thousands of ingredients in the south, it is too bad! Who can stand a whole winter of only eating pickled cabbage? No matter how delicious the noodle dumplings are, they can't be eaten all at once!

And the family property they have accumulated over several generations is all in the south! Running to this cold and poor north, pinching my nose to start from scratch, I feel short of breath when I think about it. Tear open the map and see that Beijing is so close to the Mongolian tribes, if the Mongols rush over on horseback, they won't even have time to escape!

How good Nanjing is, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties is magnificent, it is a place where dragon qi has gathered for thousands of years, the emperor can't think of anything, and he doesn't want to live in Nanjing to live in Beijing to suffer!

As a result, the ministers were ready to move, and suggestions to move back to Nanjing emerged one after another.

The emperor ignored them, moved the capital and moved here, and still wanted to go back to Nanjing? Adults haven't woken up!

In recent days, Bai Tang often stands in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the tea room, gazing at the sky with a solemn expression.

After counting the time, the thing that embarrassed Zhu Di and thundered and furious is about to happen, right?

He sat down at the table and wrote a letter, asking Xu Zengshou to send it to his grandson.

Ding Guogong asked suspiciously: "Why didn't you send Xu San?" ”

Bai Tang was embarrassed: Then this letter was still in the hands of the grandson?

"Xu San is busy in the Ministry of Rites every day." Bai Tang smiled and asked, "What?" Won't you hand over a letter? ”

Dingguo Gong stuffed the letter into the placket: "Where, wrap me!" He said with great interest, "I heard that your mulberry garden has built a pool that can spray its own water?" ”

"Hmm." Bai Tang raised his eyebrows, "Have you seen it?" ”

Ding Guogong was extremely curious: "Not yet!" What kind? ”

Bai Tang turned out a schematic diagram for him. In the middle of the pool is a beautiful statue of the dragon girl, surrounded by carp, all of whom open their mouths wide to spray water at the dragon girl.

Looking at the drawings, Ding Guogong was itching.

"If you can really spray water yourself, I will build one in the Dingguo Mansion too!"

Bai Tang narrowed his eyes: "That's the brainchild of me and Atchahe-"

"Are you still afraid that your father-in-law can't afford that bit of silver?"

Bai Tang clapped: "What silver is not silver, what kind of friendship do we have!" ”

Ah Shou heyed, Bai Tang had to make a fortune with this fountain! He was worried about Bai Tang's letter and rushed to the East Palace to ask to see the grandson, but met the prince in front of the East Palace.

The prince greeted him with a smile: "Ah Shou! ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Ah Shou saluted and asked with a smile, "Is the grandson here?" ”

"Jungi is in his grandfather's palace. What is Ah Shou looking for him? ”

Ah Shou thought about it, and then took out Bai Tang's letter: "This is a letter written by Bai Tang to the grandson, please give it to him from the prince." ”

The prince's smile froze, and his whole body was on guard: Lian Baitang wrote a letter to the grandson?

Instantly back to normal, he took the letter and said, "Okay." ”

Ah Shou did not doubt that he had him, and returned home as soon as the letter was delivered.

The prince took the letter and flipped through the speculations: it was very thin to the touch, just one page, and I don't know what was written in it? Do you want to dismantle it and take a look at it first?

Thinking so, he couldn't help but reach for the paper cutter on the table. The tip of the knife was against the seal of the envelope, and he suddenly heard his son's call: "Father! ”

The prince's hand shook, and the paper cutter touched the tea cup on the table, and the tea quickly overflowed the envelope.

Rotten!

The prince and the wicked man sued first: "Look at your shouting, this letter is also wet!"

Taisun was quite nervous, and stepped forward to ask, "Whose letter?" ”

The prince was a little weak-hearted: "Your letter." ”

Taisun hurriedly picked up the letter from the tea and asked, "Who sent it?" ”

Looking at his face, the prince spit out three words: "Lian Baitang." ”

Taisun was stunned, and hurriedly opened the letter, the letter was already half wet, the ink was smudged, and only the first few words could be vaguely distinguished: Your Highness, the palace hall is newly repaired, and the three major halls are tall and magnificent......

The prince exhaled, a little regretful: it doesn't seem to be the love letter he thought! Alas, people are worried about the sky, people are worried!

Taisun stomped his feet and said, "Bai Tang easily didn't write to me. There must be something important! I'll go find him and ask for clarification! ”

The prince's heart twitched, how could he let his son go to see Baitang? The face sank: "What's the hurry!" What big deal can he have? Glancing at his son, "Recently, many officials have been nagging me, saying that Beijing is cold and poor, and there is a lot of persuasion to persuade orphans to move back to Nanjing, what do you think?" ”

Taisun hurriedly said: "How did my father deal with it?" ”

"Moving to the capital is what your imperial grandfather meant, of course Lone ignored them, but-"

Taisun breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's right that my father ignores them." The emperor's grandfather was eloquent and strategic, and moving the capital to Beijing had the meaning of guarding the country, and also had the intention of dominating hundreds of officials. Grandfather Huang would never move back to Nanjing. ”

The prince sighed: His body can't withstand the biting cold climate in the north!

"Father knows. By the way, what did the imperial grandfather tell you to do? ”

"The flood season of the Yellow River is approaching, and the emperor's grandfather wants me to cooperate with the Ministry of Industry to control the water."

The prince thought about it for a while, and said: "Last year, the Ministry of Industry recruited a talent for water control, and he was still the son of Pan Youming, a waiter in the Ministry of Industry——"

"Duan Minglou." Taisun was very impressed with him. "It's time for him to stretch out his hand this year!"

The two discussed state affairs, but left the matter of Baitang behind. When the grandson left from the study, he remembered: Ah, I haven't gone to Bai Tang to ask him what is written in the letter!

Seeing that it was getting late, and Concubine Sun's delicate figure was slowly walking towards him, Taisun secretly thought: It is inconvenient to find Baitang at this time, it is better to go again tomorrow! lest Xu San's house be jealous again. Thinking like this, he greeted Concubine Sun, held her delicate jade hand, and walked away.

The prince saw it in his eyes and was very pleased: his son was really not bewitched by Lian Baitang!

On the second day, when Taisun wanted to take time to go to Songzhu Zhai, he inexplicably had a lot of things at hand, and when he was done, it was dark again!

On the third day, the grandson finally got rid of the affairs of all parties, got into the carriage and prepared to drive to Songzhuzhai, when the sky suddenly became gloomy like ink, and dark clouds rolled in. A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, and the sound of thunder filled my ears.

Taisun's entourage hurriedly said: "Your Highness, this weather is not right!" Can't go out! ”

This is also a coincidence! Taisun is quite uneasy! It seems that God deliberately does not let himself go to see Baitang, all kinds of obstructions.

The raindrops blew up all night with a continuous thunderstorm!

In the middle of the night, an orange glow suddenly lit up somewhere in the palace, and thick smoke billowed up into the clouds!
