Rong Yunxi was also lifting the curtain and looking out the window, when she heard King Chen say this, she turned around and smiled: "Didn't you come last year?" How do you make it look like your head is back? ”

"Isn't this because I don't want to show off in front of you? This king is kind, why are you so unappreciative? King Chen said, "I was really hurt by you along the way!" ”

"Can I really hurt you? You've already cultivated the incorruptible body of King Kong in that pile of beauties, right? Rong Yunxi said with a smile.

"Then you are wrong", King Chen stretched his waist, moved his muscles, and said quite proudly, "It is precisely because I am often in the beauty pile that I am usually coaxed and loved by beauties, and I am more likely to be hurt when I am treated like this by you!" ”

"Where can we talk about the word 'love'? At best, it's just flattering you. Rong Yunxi said mercilessly.

King Chen looked up to the sky and sighed, as if he had been greatly bruised.

When he arrived outside the Huai'an Mansion, Zhuo Jiu dismounted and said to the officials at the door: "I'm sorry for you to report it, saying that His Royal Highness King Chen has arrived." ”

As soon as he heard that it was King Chen, a servant hurriedly ran in and shouted, "Your Excellency...... His Royal Highness King Chen has arrived......"

Not long after, in Huai'an Mansion, a group of people from Wuyang came to the door to kneel and greet them. There are the family members of Lord Yin, the servants in the house, the chief bookkeepers in the government, and some small officials who participate in the supervision here...... Fu Yin Caisheng personally went out to greet him, and the rest of the people were kneeling in the courtyard.

"Your Royal Highness King Chen...... "Lord Yin of the Mansion bowed in front of King Chen's carriage and bowed.

"My lord, please get up quickly, please ......," King Chen said, lifting the curtain of the car.

Some servants in the house had already put their feet under the horses and waited for King Chen to get off the carriage.

King Chen got out of the carriage and turned around to pull Rong Yunxi.

stepped forward to help Cai Sheng, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a year, but I see that the adult's body is a little tougher!" ”

"Thanks to His Highness, my body is still strong." Cai Shengdao.

Cai Sheng is a slightly chubby middle-aged man in his forties, and he is quite kind from his words and deeds.

"This is the princess, right?" Cai Sheng hurriedly bowed to Rong Yunxi, "Yin Caisheng of Huai'an Mansion, Xiaguan Huai'an, meet the princess." ”

"Your Excellency doesn't need to be polite," Rong Yunxi said with a smile, "On the way, I heard His Royal Highness say that your Excellency is a good official who cares about the court and the people." Now that I see it, the adults are really kind and kind-hearted. Having such a good minister is a blessing for the people of Huai'an and the court. ”

Listening to Rong Yunxi's witty words, King Chen held back a smile. I thought to myself, when did I praise Cai Sheng with you? That's just the name of the three Huaifu Yin. You're going to be close to someone else.

Rong Yunxi's words are really useful, Cai Sheng is already so happy that he can't close his mouth, and he is a little ashamed to be ashamed.

"It is the duty of the lower officials to serve the court and benefit the people! How can you afford such praise from His Royal Highness and Niangniang? I don't dare to be ashamed, I dare not be ashamed......" Cai Sheng said modestly.

As he spoke, Rong Yunxi and King Chen were led into the palace.

As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I heard the people who knelt in the courtyard say in unison: "Greetings to His Royal Highness King Chen, greetings to the princess Niangniang......"

King Chen smiled: "Let's get up, go your own way, don't treat this king as a guest, everyone is at ease......"

Cai Sheng answered first, then turned around and ordered: "Your Highness has an order, go and go your way." ”

After the kneeling people retreated, Cai Sheng said: "Let the lower official personally lead His Highness to the backyard to settle down in the house?" The room prepared by the lower officials for His Royal Highness and the royal family members was packed up as early as ten days ago. ”

King Chen nodded and said, "Your Excellency has a heart." ”

"Where's Big Brother? Is it in Fuchu, or where have you gone? King Chen asked.

Seeing Cai Sheng greet him in such a position, King Chen knew that the eldest brother must not be in the mansion. Otherwise, Cai Sheng would be more or less restrained, and he would not be so enthusiastic with him.

When he inspected the Jianghuai area last year, he and Cai Sheng were indeed more talkative. If you start from the bottom of your heart, Cai Sheng should be on his side, but as an official, he has never been able to be the same. Now that the situation is not completely clear, Cai Sheng is not sure whether this party struggle has begun. Therefore, in the next period of time, it is indispensable to have a peaceful move that is not offended at both ends.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince set off to Huaibin Mansion the day before yesterday to personally inspect the river, and it is estimated that he will not be able to return until the day after tomorrow." Cai Shengdao.

"The specific remediation plan and the amount of money used have been calculated?"

"The plan is the one drawn up by the Ministry of Industry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he would check it in person, and then wait for His Highness to come, discuss it together, and see if there is anything that needs to be changed slightly. As for the amount of money, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that even if there is a change in the plan, it is estimated that it will be a small change and will not harm the overall situation, so it has been decided first. The excerpt has already been reported to Kyoto City, and it is only waiting for the balance to be allocated by the national treasury. ”

King Chen nodded to show that he had heard.

The eldest brother is still very cautious, for fear that he will find fault after he comes. However, the management of the use of money is unyielding.

But in fact, the eldest brother may not really make a fuss about the money used to control the river. The more he made the money plan first, and it looked like he was doing something in it, the less likely it was that he would actually do it. The eldest brother is doing this to set him up.

After knowing that he was coming, he would inevitably be suspicious when he heard that the specific plan had not been moved, but the payment plan had already been reported. In this way, it is indispensable to focus on the reconciliation of the money he has reported. When the time comes, dig a big hole for him in the planning of the funds, let him go to his father to participate in a book after discovering the problem, and when his father blames him, the prince will complete the problem again.

At that time, in the eyes of his father, he will become a scheming person who deliberately troubles his brother. It is indispensable to alienate him for a while, and even more so, he even directly concluded that he was a person with improper intentions.

Such an obvious pit, how could he jump into it?

Big brother, you dug this pit beautifully, but you just dug it and put it away.

Fu Yin's house is behind the mansion and is separated by a rockery.

King Chen has already been here last year, so he knows the situation here quite well. But Cai Sheng is a good worker, and introduced to Rong Yunxi: "In the lower official's house, there is a gate and a back door for the family members of the lower officials to enter and exit. If you have something to ask for, you will go around the gate and go outside the government to find the officials to ask for a serious meeting. ”

Rong Yunxi nodded, thinking that this was the same as King Chen's "Jing Wei" intention.

"But the lower officials themselves are not so strict, and they usually take this road when they go to the government for business and go home. His Royal Highness and Niangniang live in the Xiaguan's house, and it is just convenient, so they can enter and exit freely here. Don't look at the fact that no one leaves on weekdays, so you go far away, so it is a pain to go around, so it will be a pain in the downfall. ”

Rong Yunxi said with a smile: "This concubine is in the same place with her ladies, and His Royal Highness will naturally not be troublesome when he comes to the palace on business on weekdays." ”

"In this way, Xia Guan will be relieved...... Cai Sheng continued, "In Xia Guan's house, there is a total of one wife and three concubines, and they are not out of the door on weekdays. There are also two daughters who have not yet left the cabinet, and a thirteen-year-old son. But they all live in the east mansion, and the courtyard arranged by the lower officials for the two highnesses, the mother, the lady and the family members are all in the west house, and there is a stream in the middle, so they can't disturb the highness and the lady. ”

"Your Highness, your mother, and your wife, just treat this place as your own mansion. If there is anything missing, send someone to the east house to talk to the wife of the lower official, or send someone directly to talk to the lower official, it is okay. The mother just commands. ”

King Chen smiled: "Don't worry, my lord, we will not be polite." I must be living comfortably in your mansion for a while. ”

Laughing and walking for a while, this Huai'an Mansion Yin's house is not too big, and it can have Chenwang Mansion covering an area of three or four tenths. After crossing the creek and arriving at the West Mansion, Cai Sheng led them to their residence.

"There are a total of ten courtyards in the West Mansion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has used four of them, and the rest have been cleaned up, and His Royal Highness can choose at will." Cai Shengdao.

"Where does Big Brother live?" King Chen asked.

Cai Sheng pointed to a larger courtyard on the left-hand side and said, "It's the front yard." ”

King Chen casually pointed to his right hand and asked, "This courtyard is empty, right?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, it's empty."

"This king will live in these courtyards with his family, and be closer to the eldest brother."

The courtyard in this western mansion is not built in a regular manner, the place where the prince lives is probably located in the middle of the ten courtyards, and the one chosen by King Chen is at the edge of this courtyard.

In addition, there are only ten courtyards in total, except for the two courtyards next to the prince and next to the prince, where they live is inevitably a little remote. And the courtyards in the middle were obviously occupied by the prince's people, and the prince's entourage was to protect the prince.

Therefore, Cai Sheng didn't say anything, just smiled and said: "Okay, Your Highness, Niangniang, and the royal family, go first to see the situation in the house, if there is anything missing, the lower officials will immediately send someone to buy it." ”

"Don't be busy around us, let's go back to the mansion first, let's find a few courtyards around us and settle them ourselves." King Chen.

"It's okay," Cai Sheng said, "In this way, the lower officials will retire first." If Your Highness has any orders, you must send someone to find the lower officials. ”

"I know, I haven't seen you for a year, why are you so verbose." King Chen said with a smile.

"The lower official retired, the lower official retired...... "Cai Sheng saluted King Chen and retired happily.

There are five houses in this courtyard, one is the main room with a small square hall, a bedroom and a small study on the east and west sides, and three ordinary living houses with only one bedroom, and one is a small kitchen, two on the east and the west, divided on both sides of the main house.

"The concubine lives in this room, next to the small kitchen, and can make some snacks for His Highness or something!" Lu Caixi said.
