Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 25 Zhu Qiyu’s persistence
Lin Cunde waited quietly for Wang Ying to read the plan. Wang Ying read it very carefully. If there were some things he didn't understand, Wang Ying would remember them first.

By the time I finished reading them all, it was already a quarter of an hour later.

Wang Ying sighed with emotion, then looked at Lin Cunde and said: "My dear nephew, if you don't study and become a merchant, you can probably become rich!"

"Shibo is joking!" Lin Cunde waved his hands quickly and then asked: "Is it feasible?"

"Of course it's feasible, it's so detailed, and it's clearly written on how to operate and manage it. If it doesn't work, then what will work? But, my dear nephew, how did you grow your brain and how can you be so smart?

But, then again, you are very much like your father. Your father is actually a man who is good at business, but he is just an official, and it is inconvenient to do many things!You can only cooperate secretly with others, and this old man knows it!Your family was able to purchase real estate in the capital only because your father worked in partnership with others! "Wang Ying sat there and continued to sigh.

"Well, I also know this. Before my father left for the war, he called us two brothers and said that all those businesses were withdrawn. In fact, there was no money left. My father sent a lot of money back. I heard that although my family is still here There is a prominent family in the area, but my family is still very poor. My grandfather and grandmother farmed the land to support the children! Therefore, after my father became an official, most of the money was sent back to my grandfather and uncle!" Lin Cunde nodded. , Lin Cunde knows a lot about family matters.

Before my father left for the war, he summoned his mother and his two brothers in this study and explained everything clearly.

"Well, okay, you can help me clarify my doubts first, and when the Queen asks, I can explain it easily!" Wang Ying said and began to flip through the plan and began to ask questions about what she didn't understand.

Lin Cunde also answered them one by one.

After Wang Ying figured it out, it was an hour later. It was almost noon. Lin Cunde originally wanted to keep Wang Ying at home for dinner.

Wang Ying waved his hand and refused to eat. He drank at every meal. Now that Lin Cunde was observing filial piety at home, drinking at Lin Cunde's house was a bit disrespectful.

After Wang Ying left, Grandpa Yang also invited Lin Cunde to dinner. Seeing that there was no one in the study, Grandpa Yang came to Lin Cunde and asked in a low voice: "Master, how do you arrange this Qiu Shuang? Is it as an ordinary maid, or as a half-maid?" hostess?"

Lin Cunde looked up at Grandpa Yang, feeling embarrassed for a moment.

Grandpa Yang saw Lin Cunde's dilemma and said, "Master Wang sent it here, didn't he make it clear?"

"When Shibo gave it away, he said that he was here to serve me in my daily life. In addition, Qiu Shuang was Mei Chun's personal maid before, and she is planning to come here as a dowry in the future! So, I don't know how to arrange it!" Lin Cunde looked at Grandpa Yang and said. , I am not familiar with this area either.

"That's my concubine. Now that there is no mistress in the house, Qiu Shuang will be half the mistress of the house. If this is the case, young master, you still need to buy a few maids to serve Qiu Shuang!" Grandpa Yang knew it when he heard this. What's going on? Most of the maids who do the marriage are going to become concubines. Although it is said that the half-mistress promoted her, it is not wrong to say that. After all, there is no mistress in the house. If there is a mistress, the mistress will A concubine is a concubine.

"Ah, you want to buy a maid?" Lin Cunde looked at Grandpa Yang in surprise and said.

"Well, I don't have any money at home, so I don't need it, but according to the rules, I need to buy at least one. Let's talk about this later, young master. Young master, it's time to eat!" Grandpa Yang said to Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde nodded and went out with Grandpa Yang. When he arrived at the dining room, he saw Qiu Shuang standing next to the dining table. When he saw Lin Cunde coming over, he blushed and said, "Master, it's time to eat. I will serve you!"

After saying that, he started to prepare a meal for Lin Cunde.
Lin Cunde also sat down a little nervously. He had never been alone with a woman in his two lifetimes. How could he not be nervous?
"Master, what do you like to eat? I'll help you pick some food for you!" Qiu Shuang filled the rice and placed it in front of Lin Cunde, then asked Lin Cunde with a pair of chopsticks.

"No, no, you don't have to pick up the food for me. You can sit down and eat together. I'm not used to it!" Lin Cunde waved his hand quickly and said, how can this be done? You are really treating yourself like a meal. Isn’t it the person who comes to stretch out his hand?
"I don't dare, I'll eat with Aunt Yu and the others later! Master, if you're not used to it, I won't serve you food. I'll be waiting next to you!" Qiu Shuang also said with a red face, not knowing it was because of the heat. Still shy.

"Eating with Aunt Yu and the others? That's not possible, no, sit down and eat together. There are not many people in the family. Counting you, there are actually three people. Me, you, Grandpa Yang, and everyone else are invited!" Lin Cunde He said to Qiu Shuang that the people he hired were not counted as members of his family. Of course, Grandpa Yang was not counted either, but Grandpa Yang had been in his family for decades and was already considered a member of his family.

Besides, Aunt Yu and the others only eat coarse grains, and the dishes are very ordinary. Qiu Shuang is from Wang Ying's mansion and is Meichun's personal maid. She is probably the type who will not be wronged in Wang's mansion, but she can't let others come. I can't even eat well in my own house.

"I don't dare!" Qiu Shuang still saluted.

"Let's eat together. Originally, I ate with Grandpa Yang before, but Grandpa Yang said that eating with me was boring and he didn't want to eat with me. Just eat together. Sit down and don't delay!" Lin Cunde ordered to Qiu Shuang. Qiu Shuang sat down, but she was still very nervous. Normally, she was not qualified to serve at the table, but Lin Cunde said that it was wrong for her to refuse.

"Eat whatever you want, don't be so nervous!" Lin Cunde smiled and said, he was actually very nervous facing Qiu Shuang.

"Okay, young master!" Qiu Shuang also nodded, but still stood up and went to serve the meal.

In the palace, Zhu Qiyu was very agitated at the moment. Today, the court began to argue again about the establishment of the third camp of the capital.The military generals wanted to continue to be under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, but the Ministry of War did not allow it, and the Minister of the Ministry of War was Yu Qian.

Civil servants have always disliked military generals, especially the Five Army Commandery Mansion controlled by Wu Xun.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies and the Ministry of War are parallel. The Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies has the power to command troops, but does not have the power to deploy troops. The Ministry of War has the power to deploy troops, but does not have the power to command troops.

Therefore, the Ministry of War and civil servants have always wanted to command the troops directly, and do not want to go through the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.

As for Zhu Qiyu, he actually hoped that the Governor's Office of the Five Armies would continue to command the troops. In this way, power would be dispersed, which would be safer for the Ming Dynasty and the capital.

But in the battle of Tumubao, all those martial arts who could fight were destroyed. Now there are only a few martial arts who can fight. They are no longer the opponents of civil servants.

In addition, Zhu Qiyu trusts Yu Qian very much. From a personal emotional point of view, he is willing to support Yu Qian. The Ministry of War controls the third battalion of the capital. But in the long run, it is better to be subordinate to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.

After lunch, Zhu Qiyu walked slowly with his hands behind his back, thinking about this matter in his mind, and before he knew it, he arrived at Kunning Palace.

So he went in with his hands behind his back and entered the main hall of Kunning Palace. Zhu Qiyu found that it was very warm. At this moment, Wang Meilin also learned that Zhu Qiyu was coming and was coming from the study: "I have seen your majesty!"

"Well, no courtesy! Is this the stove you are talking about?" Zhu Qiyu found a stove in the corner and asked Zhu Qiyu.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have made arrangements. It will be installed in Qianqing Palace today. In addition, it will be installed in Kangshou Palace and Renshou Palace!" Wang Meilin replied to Zhu Qiyu,

Lin Cunde had already handed over the drawings of the furnace to Wang Ying, and Wang Ying handed them over to Wang Meilin, who then asked his subordinates to make them.

"Well, okay, let's go to your study!" Zhu Qiyu nodded and headed to Wang Meilin's study with his hands behind his back.

When he arrived in the study, Zhu Qiyu found a comfortable soft bench and lay down. Wang Meilin also noticed that Zhu Qiyu seemed upset, so he walked over, sat next to Zhu Qiyu, and gently pressed Zhu Qiyu's head.

"Lin'er, things in the previous dynasty were messy and disorderly. Civil servants want to seize military power this time. I don't want this. Although it seems to be beneficial to me now, it may not be beneficial to Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Qiyu lay there, Said with a sigh.

"Your Majesty, I don't know much about the affairs of the previous dynasty. Even if I do, I don't dare to say anything! However, in that case, why not have a test when you summon Lin Cunde?" Wang Meilin looked at Zhu Qi and asked him.

"Ask him, can he understand this?" Zhu Qiyu chuckled.

"It doesn't matter whether he understands it or not. Your Majesty is mainly testing his ability and whether he is worthy of being reused!" Wang Meilin also said with a smile. He hoped that there would be someone around Zhu Qiyu who could help and give him ideas.

"Yes, but you are not allowed to tell him in advance!" Zhu Qiyu nodded and reminded Wang Meilin.

"It is impossible for me to come up with an idea for this kind of matter. Your Majesty's test of him will affect how to use him in the future. Your Majesty needs talents. I dare not inform you of such an important matter in advance. However, from the current situation, Lin Cunde is Those who are talented are very talented!" Wang Meilin said to Zhu Qiyu.

"Well, I'll see you then. I'll put aside other things that morning and see what kind of talent he has!" Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, feeling a little hopeful in his heart.
"Okay! I'll give you a massage. If you want to sleep, just take a nap! Your Majesty is too tired!" Wang Meilin said softly, and Zhu Qiyu nodded gently.

Slowly Zhu Qiyu fell asleep in the study.

After waking up, she went to the Qianqing Palace. Queen Wang continued to settle accounts. During this period, she ransacked a lot of things in her house. In addition, she had fired so many palace servants, so she also needed to slowly select some people to join the palace.

Not long after they had just been counting for a while, a palace maid knocked on the door and came in, saying to Wang Meilin: "Your Majesty, Sir Wang and Madam ask to see you!"

When Wang Meilin heard this, he knew that his father and mother were coming. He quickly stood up and said to the palace maid: "Please come in quickly!"
