Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 152 The old man takes a concubine ([-]) ([-]rd)
Prince Consort Gong Yonggu is indeed a very sociable person, although Chen Laitou is only a craftsman, but these days, the two get along better.

Gong Yonggu even personally visited Chen Laitou many times to ask for advice, and sometimes invited him to his mansion for a banquet, and even yelled at Chen Hanlin one by one, without any airs of being a relative of the emperor.

And Chen Maotou also respected this son-in-law more and more. Although he was a bit talkative, in Chen Maotou's opinion, if this son-in-law hadn't married the daughter of the royal family, he would have been able to win the first prize.

The reason is naturally that this son-in-law Gong Yonggu really knows a lot, the customs of the world and the various relationships inside and outside the court, this guy is very clear, even for the Tartars outside the customs, the Japanese pirates in the East, and the Western fans in the South Seas, There are also Kunlun slaves from Lilaya, and this captain-in-law knows everything, and naturally the Four Books and Five Classics, Tang Poetry and Song Ci are also included.

Therefore, Chen Laitou also sincerely admires this captain-in-law, but the key is that he still doesn't take it seriously.

Because of this, Chen Laitou did not refuse Gong Yonggu's arrangement in the end, and was going to take Fan Kuan's "Traveling in Streams and Mountains" and other gifts and a Linghua silver mirror to attend the wedding of Wei Ge's old concubine.

However, before participating in the happy event of Wei Ge's old concubine, Chen Manitou couldn't help expressing his doubts to his friend Gong Yonggu, the captain-in-law.

"I said Prince Consort, I have a question, but I would like to ask you. Since you are well versed in the present and ancient times, you may be the only one who can help me. His Majesty told me before summoning you that day that he would give it to you in the next big fortune." , but I still don’t understand where the great wealth His Majesty mentioned is. At the time when old man Li improved the Tianqi style, he actually won thousands of taels of silver and a set of mansions, but I have nothing. Only a five-rank black gauze hat is left."

Chen Manitou pointed helplessly at the black yarn on his finger, while Gong Yonggu, the captain-in-law, laughed directly, shook his head at Chen Manitou and said, "You are a fool after all, didn't your majesty say that you would let us go?" You only have half the share less than me, don’t underestimate the half share, that’s one in 10, once this business gets bigger, when you earn millions of dollars a year, you Mr. Hanlin just sits at home every year and can earn several [-] taels. This is not only a great wealth, but an incomparable wealth! I saw that you were depressed at the time, and if you didn’t thank you, you thought you were arrogant, but who knew you were It doesn't make sense."

Seeing the exaggeration of Gong Yonggu, the captain-in-law captain, Chen Manitou also knew that he was talking crazy again, so he was full of disbelief: "That depends on whether you can use the remaining 5000 taels to make hundreds of dollars. Thousands of deals come."

"Just wait and see, keep it. From tonight onwards, you will be able to earn money that you can't earn in this lifetime." Gong Yonggu got into the sedan chair first as he said: "Let's take a step first, Mr. Wei Ge!" But I specially invited my son-in-law to be the master of ceremonies."

"Hey, son-in-law, you won't really let me give gifts to that old Wei Ge alone, I can't stand on the stage as a little fifth-rank official!"

Chen Manitou yelled, seeing that Gong Yonggu didn't respond, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and get into his carriage: "Go to Wei Ge's old mansion!"

……

In the late Ming Dynasty, the fashion was flashy and extravagant, especially among the scholar-bureaucrats. As the so-called Zhumen's wine and meat smelly roads have frozen bones, this phenomenon is not new in the last days of the dynasty.

Moreover, among the literati and bureaucrats nowadays, it is especially common for the daughter of the octogenarian Confucian cardamom to be a concubine.

Wei Guangwei, Shangzhu Kingdom, Prince Taifu, and Jianji Palace University scholar Wei Guangwei is now in his sixties, and it is not uncommon to marry a twenty-eight girl, but since he is the chief assistant, he has suffered a lot of criticism, so there are imperial guards. It is also unavoidable for Shi to use this matter to intervene in impeachment.

However, because of this, Wei Guangwei, the chief assistant of the cabinet, did not dare to do this matter with great fanfare. After all, taking a concubine is not a continuation, nor is it a big deal.

But at this time, His Majesty came down with a decree. If he wanted to do something special, he had to put on the posture of the chief assistant, and His Majesty Zhu Youxiao had to come in person in disguise.

Wei Guangwei didn't know why His Majesty Zhu Youxiao made such a decree, and it was hard to guess why His Majesty came to congratulate him in person because of such a trivial matter as taking a concubine.

But Wei Guangwei had no choice but to act according to his will. He posted posts on all the officials above the seventh rank in Beijing, as well as all kinds of dignitaries and wealthy businessmen. Dining and drinking for dignitaries.

Wei Guangwei even felt that this was an opportunity to use this matter to get closer to His Majesty. Since Wei Zhongxian went to the south, the opportunity for him, the chief minister of the cabinet, to show his face in front of His Majesty was not as high as that of Qian Qianyi, and Wei Guangwei was getting closer. He felt more and more threatened by Qian Qianyi, so in order to keep his official position, he had to seize this opportunity.

Wei Guangwei is the chief assistant of the cabinet and the head of civil servants, even if he didn't post invitations, there would naturally be an endless stream of people who came to celebrate.

So, just as night fell, countless dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital had already rushed over.

……

Although Zhu Youxiao wanted to visit Wei Guangwei's place, he had no intention of going to Wei Guangwei's house for dinner.

He left Kunning Palace after eating some light meals with Empress Zhang Yan and servant Yao Xuan, and taught Xiao Liu Rushi some articles.

Wang Chengen hurriedly came over with an umbrella and held it on Zhu Youxiao's head. It was snowing the day before yesterday, but it started to rain again today. The weather in Daming can only be described as weird.

And Xu Fo, who had been waiting outside the house, also followed. The three of them, headed by Zhu Youxiao, accompanied by Wang Chengen and Xu Fo, went out of the inner court together.

"Come up too." When it was time to get on the carriage, Zhu Youxiao gave Xu Fo instructions, and stretched out his hand like a gentleman.

Xu Fu answered "Yes", grabbed Zhu Youxiao's hand and got into the carriage, and Wang Chengen wanted to follow, but Zhu Youxiao laughed and said, "Go down, old eunuch, come up to join in the fun !"

"My lord!" Wang Chengen couldn't help replying casually, but obediently followed beside the carriage, while Xu Fu couldn't help but grin.

This is the imposing seal of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, but in front of His Majesty, he is just a eunuch who serves others. How is he different? In front of the Ninth Five-Year Lord, he is just an ant.

"What are you doing in a daze, serve tea!"

Zhu Youxiao's voice brought Xu Fu back to his thoughts, and she hurriedly answered and went to get the tea immediately.

"Study ink!"

Here, Xu Fo had just made tea, and Zhu Youxiao wanted to write with a pen again, so Xu Fo had to rush to get the ancient ink that he brought in advance.

"Let beat!"

Xu Fu glanced at Zhu Youxiao, didn't say anything, just squatted down to beat Zhu Youxiao.

Seeing that she was obedient, Zhu Youxiao was embarrassed to deliberately tease her again, so he said deliberately: "Okay, let's sit on the sidelines, you can't beat your legs well, it's limp and weak."

Xu Fo had no choice but to stand aside.

"I let you sit down, do you want to resist the order!" Seeing that she didn't sit down, Zhu Youxiao shouted again.

"Yes!" Xu Fu just sat on the side, and the fire in the brazier was burning vigorously at this moment, which immediately made her feel a warmth creeping into her somewhat icy body.

　A lot of book friends donated rewards and voted for monthly tickets. I am so touched. At present, the first order has exceeded [-], and I will work harder to make it break through [-], hehe
