Fenghou

Chapter 255
This mansion has been Chen Qing's property twice, but he has never looked at it carefully, but only took a rough tour. He has forgotten many buildings, but he still found many clues. Zheng Tongquan said that he has been shelving the mansion in the Here, never touched.

But Chen Qing found that the mansion had become bigger, and there was a large side yard on the east side, covering an area of ​​at least two acres. A circle of houses was built in the shape of a Chinese character against the wall, and there was a big yard in the middle. This was clearly a military camp, of course , It can also be the residence of the guest minister's staff.

This side yard did not exist originally, it should be that Zheng Tongquan bought the neighboring house, and then expanded the mansion. The original five-acre house became a seven-acre house.

Another huge change is the interior furnishings, which used to be vacant, but now all the rooms are furnished with high-quality nanmu furniture, all kinds of bed cabinets, tables and chairs, as well as antique racks, vase racks, etc. furnishing utensils.

There are also all kinds of daily necessities, and there is even a brass-cast Pixiu animal head incense burner in the study, which is very exquisite in workmanship.

Chen Qing walked around and found that it was basically a mansion with bags to live in. The addition and reconstruction of the yard alone would cost at least [-] guan. There are also brand new furniture and household items. The kitchen, stables, and servants' rooms have all been fully furnished, and the sum of these additional expenses is no less than ten thousand guan.

But what surprised Chen Qing most was that the bedroom and the study room had partition walls, and the partition walls were neatly filled with ice bricks, so that even though it was a very hot season, the room was very cool without any heat.

Nothing in the room has been used before, and they are all brand new items, which shows that Zheng Tongquan knew that he was coming, so he specially arranged it, even the ice bricks were placed, this person has a heart!
The room Chen Qing lives in is in a small courtyard, with three rooms on the front and two rooms on the side. The courtyard is extraordinarily exquisite and exquisite. The unique Taihu Lake stone, and several flat big stones, are specially designed for people to sit and watch fish.

There is an octagonal pavilion in the corner, the pavilion is very small, very exquisite and elegant, there is also a Taihu Lake stone next to the pavilion, and a bunch of wintersweet protrudes from the back, and you can smell the fragrance of wintersweet standing in front of the pavilion.

Suddenly there was a sound of running footsteps outside, and two young ladies rushed in like a gust of wind, "So the young master is here!"

Walking into the courtyard, the eyes of both of them were straightened, "Master, this place is so beautiful!"

Chen Qing pointed to the two rooms next to him, "Your room is here, where did you go?"

"Ah! We're all packed."

"Nonsense! Move here quickly, and I also need to clean up here."

"understood!"

The two agreed with grievances, turned around and ran to clean up.

At this time, Yan Jun brought in several big boxes with a few soldiers. These were treasures brought by Chen Qing as a gift. He didn't know how much the things were worth, only that they were expensive.

Qin Wang Liu Yi likes to collect porcelain and jewelry. In his secret room, there are basically these two things, as well as some calligraphy and paintings, but the quantity is not large, and it is not top-notch.

After Liu Yu ascended the throne, the Kingdom of Jin returned to him a lot of rare treasures in the palace of the Song Dynasty. Liu Yu was a generous man, and he gave many treasures to his brothers and nephews without even opening the boxes. It was obtained in this way, and it was placed in a secret room. In the end, Chen Qing and his generals were taken advantage of.

Chen Qing stopped Yan Jun, "There is still a meal problem to be solved. There is a Tongji Dental Clinic opposite. Go and ask them to find some cooks."

Yan Jun hesitated and said, "Tong Zhi, we shouldn't be in Lin'an for too long, right?"

"A month or so at most."

"Since this is the case, it is better to order food directly at the restaurant outside! They will deliver it on time and according to the order. It is actually quite convenient, so as not to hire people and then fire them soon."

Chen Qing was right when he thought about it. He felt a little uncomfortable when he had to fire soon after recruiting.

"It's okay, there is a restaurant on the other side of the river, and the food is pretty good."

"Humble job, just contact me!"

When it was dark, the two young ladies were still packing their things, but Chen Qing came to Lu Mansion, someone went to report, Lu Yihao immediately ordered the housekeeper to lead Chen Qing to his study.

"Junior see Lu Xianggong!" Chen Qing bowed and saluted.

"General Chen, we haven't seen each other for a long time, please sit down!"

Although Lu Yihao is still very gentle and enthusiastic, but the address is a little rusty. Lu Yihao used to call Chen Qingbiao Shangyuan, but now he calls him General Chen. Although it is only a small name, Chen Qing has a feeling of being stabbed A feeling.

Moreover, the younger generation could not sit down in front of the elders, yet Lu Yihao asked him to sit down, seemingly respectful, but a bit unfamiliar.

Chen Qing sat down silently, and Lu Yihao said to Chen Qing gently: "This time you are arranged to come to Lai'an, in name only to report on your duties, but you also know that Qinzhou is in constant war, and there is basically nothing to say. The real intention of letting you come to Lai'an, It is related to whether you can advance to another level."

"Understandable!"

Lu Yihao smiled and said again: "In fact, you have made great contributions this year, and the imperial court has recorded them one by one, especially when you broke Jingzhao, captured the false King Liu Yi of the false Qin Dynasty, and Guo Zhen, the false Qi privy envoy, which dealt a heavy blow to the false The emperor is very satisfied with Qi's arrogance. I can't guarantee whether you will be promoted, but your title has been approved to be promoted to marquis, and you are only one step away from the county magistrate, and your rank will also be promoted to the thirteenth. Senior Zuo Wu doctor, this is actually the rank of deputy capital commander, of course there are other rewards and the like."

No matter whether it is a title or an official rank, they are actually icing on the cake. The key is the position. Whether or not the capital can be controlled is a key step for Chen Qing to move from a mid-level general to a senior general. Chen Qing came to Lin'an for this step.

"What does Lu Xianggong need to be humbled for?"

"I asked you to bring some gifts before, did you bring them?"

Chen Qing took out a booklet from his pocket and handed it to Lu Yihao, "This is the gift list!"

Lu Yihao took the list and looked it over, his brows gradually wrinkled, and he said in a dissatisfied tone: "Where did you get these official kiln porcelains?"

"The humble job was seized from the Puppet King Qin's Mansion."

"The names of the porcelains this time are Chunjin, Dieqiong, and Fenfang. Do you know what they mean?"

"I don't know the humble job!"

"I guess you don't know. This is the name of the pavilions in the Bianliang Palace. The Chunjin Pavilion is the warm pavilion where the late emperor lived in winter. These official kilns belonged to these pavilions. They were looted by the Jin soldiers. I didn't expect to find you In your hands, you take these things as gifts. They are good, but who would dare to accept them?
Without official rewards, it is arrogance to use these porcelains without authorization. There is also the Chunxiao White Jade Screen at the back, which is the favorite of Empress Dowager Gao, and the Eight Dragons Holding Pearl Incense Burner, which is in Empress Zhu's room, you!To actually bring these items from the imperial palace to Lin'an is really ignorant and fearless! "

Lu Yihao's severe accusation made Chen Qing a little hard to accept, and he gradually felt dissatisfied. Chen Qing restrained his anger and said lightly: "I didn't take these things from the palace. If you want to usurp them, you will be usurped by a golden man. What does it have to do with me? Lu Xianggong thinks it's not right, so I'll take it back and reward the soldiers."

"you--"

A trace of anger flashed in Lu Yihao's eyes, and he said slowly: "I'm doing it for your own good, do you know? You are too popular, and Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by the wind in the forest. I don't know how many people are staring at you. The court is dangerous. You immediately With so much credit, there are still countless people who oppose your promotion to the capital, think about how many people are jealous of you!"

"What should Mr. Lu say about it?"

"You give them all to me, and I hand them over to the officials, and no one will say that you have overstepped."

Chen Qing nodded, "I brought all the things, and they are just outside in the carriage!"

"Let's go! Let's go and see."

When the two came outside the mansion, Chen Qing asked his subordinates to carry all the boxes into the mansion, there were five big boxes.

Lu Yihao asked: "Are all the captured ones here? You didn't keep them yourself!"

Of course, Chen Qing kept most of them. How could he give all these treasures as gifts, but the nature is different now, and Chen Qing can't tell the truth.

"Except for a few rewards for meritorious generals, everything else is here!"

"I see. I will hand it over to the officials tomorrow as your offering. You just came here today, so you must be very tired. Go back and rest early!"

Chen Qing then left and left. He stayed in Lu Yihao's residence for a short time, but Lu Yihao never mentioned his granddaughter Lu Xiu, let alone their marriage.
