Chapter 407: Rumors of the Prime Minister

The noon break was not long, only half an hour, after having lunch at Ouyang Qian's residence, Fan Ning returned to the courtyard, the ox cart walked slowly, Fan Ning's body in the carport shook slightly with the ox cart, he seemed to be closing his eyes to recuperate, but he was thinking about Ouyang Qian's affairs in his mind.

The main reason is that this incident came too suddenly, so he was not mentally prepared, in fact, it is not a big problem to settle Ouyang Qian in the past two days, the key is what to do in the future?

Although the high-ranking officials of the Great Song Dynasty generally have mistresses in the outer house, Fan Ning can't do this kind of thing, and it is estimated that Ouyang Xiu just hopes that he will take care of his daughter, and has no other meaning, but if Ouyang Qian is married home as a flat wife, there will be two major problems in this.

First of all, how to explain it to JuppΓ©? There was never a mention of this kind of thing between them, and it is not known what Jupe's attitude would be?

Although Zhu Pei's desire for her own monopoly is not so strong, and she also acquiesced to Aya's existence as a roommate, it does not mean that she will generously accept other women into the mansion, after all, Aya was married by her, and her status is relatively humble, so she does not pose any threat to her, but Ouyang Qian is different, will she accept it?

In fact, it was not Zhu Pei who made Fanning's head bigger, but Ouyang Xiu, that old man would let his daughter marry someone else as a concubine? Even if it sounds a little better as a flat wife, she is still a concubine in essence, but her status is slightly higher than that of ordinary concubines.

I'm afraid that Ouyang Xiu would rather her daughter be alone for the rest of her life, and she would not easily agree to be someone else's concubine, unless she is crowned king and Ouyang Qian becomes a partial concubine, which is okay.

There is also a possibility that she has to be named Mrs. Fate, in fact, this is the concept of a flat wife, the court recognizes her status, and she is slightly inferior to Mrs. Fate, but this situation requires special approval from the Son of Heaven, and ordinary people do not have this kind of treatment.

The more Fan Ning thought about it, the bigger he became, so he had to ignore this matter for the time being, anyway, Ouyang Qian had also settled down, and he was not in a hurry for a while.

Fan Ning returned to the official room and sat down, and the tea boy Xiaowen brought a cup of hot tea, "Official, at noon, Mrs. sent someone to deliver the news, saying that the house next door has been bought, can the official go back early to see." ”

Fanning nodded, "Let's go back early today!" ”

Fan Ning took a sip of tea and said to Xiaowen: "You go and invite Li Jisi to come, just say that I have something to discuss with him." ”

"I'll go!"

Xiaowen walked out quickly, and after a while, Li Weizhen walked in and said to Fan Ning: "Did the Zhiyuan get the news?" ”

"What's the news?"

"I heard a news at noon that the official family had agreed to Jia Changchao's reinstatement, and I'm afraid there will be official news today."

This news Fan Ning is not surprising, after all, the imperial court wants to balance, Jia Changchao's restoration of the prime minister has been talked about since the beginning of the year, and it has only been officially decided today, even if Jia Changchao is the prime minister, the Xiangguo who supports Zhao Zhongzhong still has the upper hand, and Jia Changchao can't afford to turn over the storm.

Fan Ning didn't talk much about this matter, and asked again: "I heard this morning that Zhang Sheng wants to impeach Wen Xianggong, what's going on?" ”

"There is indeed such a thing, when I communicated with Tang Jie, the right secretary, he told me about it, it seems that Wen Yanbo once sent Shu Jin to Zhang Guifei, so he was named a scholar of Zhaowenguan University, but this matter was impeached by the imperial history last year, but in the end, it was over, I don't know why, this matter was turned out again."

Fan Ning frowned slightly, the main reason for this incident was that the timing of the appearance was too sensitive, the Ouyang Xiu incident had just subsided, and the news of Jia Changchao's reinstatement came out, and suddenly there was news that Wen Yanbo had been impeached, of course he knew that Zhang Sheng was Zhang Yaozuo's dog, and Zhang Yaozuo was going to attack Wen Yanbo, where is the logic in this?

On the issue of the heir to the throne, Wen Yanbo has always been ambiguous, he nominally supports Zhao Zongshi, but he has not taken practical action, and he secretly curries favor with Zhang Guifei, in fact, he is unwilling to stand in line.

Such a person should be beneficial to Zhang Yaozuo, so why did he impeach Wen Yanbo?

"You can investigate it, if the prefect thinks it's necessary."

Fanning nodded, "I want to know the real reason." ”

.......

Fan Ning returned to the mansion in the afternoon, but unexpectedly saw the second uncle Fan Tiege accompanying a middle-aged man to investigate in the courtyard. ”

Fan Tiege said with a smile: "Pei'er sent someone to me in the morning, let me introduce a good craftsman who builds a house, this Xie Dongzhu is also from our Pingjiang Mansion, a master of gardening, he happened to lead a group of disciples to build a house in the capital, so I invited him." ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Xie Jiuling, I have heard the name of Fan Zhiyuan for a long time." ”

He said a Wu accent, and he hadn't heard the local accent for a long time, and Fan Ning also felt very cordial, and replied: "Has the proprietor Xie opened a store in the capital?" ”

"I'm going to open a store, no, my fellow villagers will introduce me to Fan Proprietor, and I have to trouble Fan Proprietor to find me a faΓ§ade."

Fan Ning also knew that hundreds of businessmen from Pingjiang Mansion in the capital established the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce three years ago, with Zhu Yuanfeng as the president and the second uncle as one of the five vice presidents, mainly to provide a platform for fellow villagers in Beijing to exchange business opportunities.

Gardening was originally the strength of the craftsmen in Pingjiang Mansion, and it was understandable that Zhu Pei thought of asking his second uncle for help.

Fan Ning smiled and asked, "Then what does the proprietor Xie have of the garden in my house?" ”

Xie Jiuling nodded, "I have a general understanding of the situation, your mansion bought the house next door, and prepared to turn the atrium here into a lake, and then Cuiyun Tower will be used as an island, and a bridge will be built to connect it with the back house in the west, I probably am not wrong!" ”

"That's true, I want to hear the high opinion of Lord Xie."

"I don't dare to take it seriously, I'll just talk about my initial thoughts."

Xie Jiuling said: "First of all, the water source is very important, just the pond in the north is connected to the Cai River, I am going to dig a small river, draw water from the inner house, and then use ashlar to fix the foundation of Cuiyun Building, the lake covers an area of about four acres, with lotus cloth on the lake, and then build a fish viewing bridge in the middle, so that the lake is not monotonous, build a corridor around it, build three pavilions in the southwest, northwest and southeast, and cooperate with the Taihu Lake stone pile, and then I plan to demolish the original residence, on the one hand, it is to expand the lake. At the same time, a flower hall for rest and play will be built, so that the walls on both sides will be removed, the light wall will be removed, and the door will naturally be closed. ”

"What about the dock in the back?" Fanning asked again.

"The wharf behind it should be moved to the house next door, there is a reservation for building a wharf, this is not difficult, the difficulty of the whole house is still in the excavation pond, the water must be at least six feet deep, so I plan to use the soil of the excavation pond to build a small hill, just build it in the original residence, and then plant trees to fix the soil, and then build a small pavilion on the top of the mountain, echoing the Cuiyun Building."

"Then my newly bought house still needs to be repaired."

Xie Jiuling smiled slightly, "This is carried out simultaneously, the garden has been built, and the new house has been repaired." ”

"How much time will it take, and how much will it cost?"

"The time will be at least half a year, I haven't calculated the cost, it is estimated that it will be at least 10,000 yuan, and the mound of dirt will have to go to the government to apply, I estimate that as long as it does not exceed the height of Cuiyun Tower, it will not be a big problem."

Xie Jiuling's plan sounded pretty good, Fan Ning nodded, "When does Proprietor Xie plan to start construction?" ”

"I'll do a thorough survey first, then draw a sketch, and if the officials agree, then sign the agreement, and the construction can begin, and soon, I can produce the map in just three days."

"Good! We'll move out for a while. ”

Xie Jiuling continued to look at the foundation of Cuiyun Tower, and Fan Tiege pulled Fan Ning and asked in a low voice, "When the lake is built, what should Cuiyun Peak do?" ”

Fan Ning knew what he meant, so he shook his head and said, "For the time being, put it in the mansion of the third grandfather of Ah Pei, this Cuiyun Peak is too big to be placed in the Strange Stone Pavilion." ”

Fan Tiege showed a look of disappointment on his face, he also wanted to use Cuiyun Peak to attract guests to the Strange Stone Pavilion! However, he also knew in his heart that if he wanted to move Cuiyun Peak to the backyard of the Strange Stone Pavilion, he would have to break the wall.

"Alright! When are you going to go to the store and see if Akihito has something to do with you! ”

"Let's take a look when I have time in the next two days!"

Fanning no longer accompanied the second uncle, and walked quickly to the back house, but he was very strange that he had not seen Zhu Pei, and when he walked to the middle hall of the water pavilion, he saw that Zhu Pei was engrossed in drawing a picture.

"What are you drawing?" Fanning stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"Husband is back!"

Juppe pulled her husband excitedly, "Look at the courtyard map I painted." ”

Fan Ning stepped forward to take a closer look, and it turned out to be an imaginary courtyard map, which was basically similar to what Xie Jiuling said, but the lake was sparkling and vast, and there were actually a few seabirds.

Fan Ning smiled dumbly and said: "Your picture needs at least thirty hectares of lake surface to have this effect, our family is only five acres at most, don't think too well, you will be disappointed then." ”

"Then let's buy a piece of land in the future and build a manor like this, I like the big lake!"

"Wouldn't it be better to buy a natural lake and build a house by the lake?"

"How long will it take?" JuppΓ© looked stunned.

"Someday!"

Fanning patted her pretty face lightly, and said with a smile: "Has the house money been paid today?" ”

"I have already paid in the morning, it was Mrs. Wu who came, she gave us the house deed, title deed and key, last time you said that the second uncle knew the person who built the garden, I asked the housekeeper to invite the second uncle."

"Then we have to prepare to pack up and move, just now Xie Dongzhu said that it will take half a year!"

"I'm going to discuss with my husband about moving, and my mother asked us to move to their house first, what do you see?"

Zhu Pei's parents' house covers an area of twenty acres, and only three people live, so it would be good to move to them, but Fan Ning got a message that maybe Zhu Pei's father was going to take over Liu Yun's position as the left servant, which made Fan Ning a little hesitant.

"Do you want to move in?" Fanning asked.

"I want to see my brother." JuppΓ© whispered.

Fanning immediately understood that Juppe still wanted to live with his parents.

He nodded happily and said, "Then pack up our things, and we will move to my father-in-law's house tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!" ”
