Chapter Seventy-Three: The New House

Qi Tanying stayed at her mother's house for a total of five days, and after Mrs. Qi's illness recovered, she packed up her things and went back to Yan's house.

Who knew that she had to be free, but Yan Li was busy, sometimes she went out before dawn, and she didn't return until midnight, and it was common for her to not be at home for several days.

Mrs. Yan complained in front of her from time to time, saying that Yan Li was so desperate that she would have to burn down sooner or later.

Yan Li was busy for a month, during which he cracked a serious case of courtiers' embezzlement of ink, and confiscated 20,000 taels of silver as well as some jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings. After the silverfish were ambushed, all their ink-greedy things were filled into the treasury.

Yan Li was also officially appointed as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the prince also gave him a four-entry mansion located in Xingqingfang.

The prince gave it happily, and Yan Li also received it happily, which also confirmed that he was a member of the prince's camp.

So on the first day of Yan Li's official promotion to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, there was a royal history to impeach the prince for forming a party for personal gain and colluding with courtiers. After Emperor Yuan He read the impeachment recital, he directly summoned the prince to the Jiaotai Palace.

Knowing that someone had impeached him, the prince did not take it seriously. Yan Li is his person, and he has already passed the bright road here with his father.

Emperor Yuan He glanced at his eldest son, and was so angry that he threw the fold and threw it out, "Did I remind you not to be too obvious?" It's good for you, I promoted him on the front foot, and you gave him a big mansion on the back foot, for fear that others would not know about your relationship. ”

The crown prince stepped forward to pick up the fold and said unhurriedly: "Father is angry." ”

Emperor Yuan He has always had no way to take this son, he looks at the gentleness and actually has his own ideas, if it is identified, he will do it by all means.

If he had changed his son to be the crown prince, he would have been abolished countless times since he did this. However, he was the only grandson who was taught by his father and emperor since he was a child, and he was asserted by Qin Tianjian that if he was deposed for no reason, it would affect the national fortunes of Dayong for a hundred years.

Emperor Yuan He was not angry when he figured it out.

Today, he called the prince over, not all because of the impeachment of the prince. Since last year's thorough investigation of the poor wood case of Tangshan Palace, Tangshan Palace has become a ruined palace.

The treasury had recently received 30,000 taels of silver, and Emperor Yuanhe planned to use the silver to rebuild a palace as a new summer retreat.

The crown prince did not agree, the construction of the palace took a long time, and it required huge manpower, material and financial resources, and a mere 30,000 taels was just a drop in the bucket.

"Erchen felt that there was no need to spend a lot of time on the site to build another one, just push the houses and palaces with inferior wood in the Tangshan Palace to be rebuilt."

The crown prince didn't know that Emperor Yuan He had a nightmare about the collapse of the Tangshan Palace. Although the prince was very reasonable, he was determined to choose a site for another construction.

For this reason, King Qian and King Yu were specially summoned and asked who of them was willing to take over this matter.

King Qianxi didn't want to get involved at all, after all, his uncle Gui Zhiyao was involved in the case of inferior wood in Tangshan Palace, and his uncle Wu Anhou was now punished at home and thought about it, and he didn't know when he would come out.

If he really takes over another construction palace, if he does well, he will atone for his uncle's crimes, and if he does not do well, his uncle's previous crimes will be taken out and talked about, and he, Concubine Shu and the Marquis of Wu'an will become the target of public criticism again.

King Qianwang was silent, but King Yu was eager to try and took the initiative to ask Ying to take over the task.

Coming out of the Jiaotai Palace, King Qian stopped King Yu and asked unceremoniously: "Second Emperor Brother, there is no money to buy Tu Huo Dan?" "I even dare to take the initiative to ask Ying to build a palace, I'm afraid it's not for the sake of greedy ink?

King Yu smiled slightly: "The emperor's words are serious, the foolish brother just wants to share his father's worries." After a pause, he said: "If the emperor's brother also has this intention, you can go and tell your father that the foolish brother doesn't mind working with you." ”

"No need." King Qian glanced at King Yu contemptuously, "After all, this is the first serious errand of the imperial brother, and the younger brother will not fight with the imperial brother, I hope that the imperial brother's errand will be done smoothly." ”

After speaking, regardless of King Yu's face, he turned around and left.

The expression on King Yu's face gradually disappeared, and he stared at his back for a few breaths before leaving.

Le'an Fang, Yan House

The house that the prince gave to Yan Li is located at the end of Xingqingfang Street, which was originally the residence of the former Shangshu family of the Ministry of Industry.

This house changed hands several times and became the prince's private property, and now it was given to Yan Li by the prince.

The layout of the house is very good, there are four entrances, from south to north, in order: inverted seat--- the first courtyard--- the hanging flower door - the second courtyard--- the main room or hall--- the third courtyard--- the main house--- the fourth courtyard--- the back cover room.

There are five main rooms in the second courtyard, one ear room on each side, a total of seven rooms, and three rooms in the east and west wings. This house is not an inner house for dependents, but for discussions, reception, and overnight stays.

The main room is a hall, and the third courtyard is entered through the hall. The third courtyard is a courtyard that is narrow from east to west, only four or five meters from north to south, the middle room serves as Yan Li's study, and the two next rooms serve as the residences of Du Yu and Yan Wei.

In the middle of the north side is the hanging flower gate that enters the inner house. After entering the Hanging Flower Gate, it is the fourth courtyard, that is, the inner house.

The main house of the inner house is three and four ears, and the east and west wings on both sides and the two sides are four rooms each, and there are hand-copying verandahs between the rooms.

Although this mansion is not as good as the mansion where the Jiang family has lived for generations, it can be regarded as a deep mansion compound.

The house is very well maintained, and you can move in after a simple repair and cleaning. After discussing with Qi Tanying, Yan Li decided to move in on the first day of the fourth month.

Mrs. Yan has lived in the Yan Mansion in Le'an Fang for 20 years, and she is very reluctant to give up the grass and trees of the Yan House. "Ah Tan, if you and Brother Li go to live in a new house, I'll stay here."

Qi Tanying said: "Mother, if you don't move, my husband and I won't move either, and we will stay with you." ”

Old Madam Yan hurriedly waved her hand, "Don't, what I'm saying is a joke." ”

In fact, she understands that no matter whether the prince sends the house or not, they will have to move sooner or later. The son's official is getting bigger and bigger, and he has to entertain his colleagues every day, and it is somewhat inconvenient to live in Le'anfang.

On the first day of April, the Yan family moved into the new house neatly. After moving for the second time, Mrs. Qi visited her daughter and son-in-law's new home, and was very satisfied after reading it.

"The main house of this new house is very spacious, and there is room for the stepping bed in your dowry."

It is not for nothing that Mrs. Qi said this, the Yan Mansion in Le'an Fang has a compact layout, and Qi Tanying's large dowry is all placed in the newly bought house next door. Among those large dowries, there is a stepping bed, which is a dowry personally built by Qi Heming for his daughter before his death.

It's good now, the new house is magnificent, the room is spacious, and it is not crowded at all to place a stepping bed.

Originally, Mrs. Yan was reluctant to live in the old house, but after moving in to visit, she was very satisfied, and joked to Qi Tanying: "With a big mansion, it is enough to give birth to seven or eight of him." ”
